Be sure when you start the install that you do not double click on the 
Install.exe, but right click and choose 'wine program loader' to run it 
with.

If that is not the problem - On my system (Fedora 11, Wine version 
1.1.32) I did not copy the contents of the WoW disks to the computer and 
then install from those copies. I have just put the disk in the drive 
and installed from disk and I have installed as a download from my 
account at the blizzard website, both ways have worked fine.  My C drive 
in Wine is only 56.6GB in size with WoW, both it's expansions and test 
server, COH/V, SWG, EVE, and ventrillo installed so yes, your 160 GB 
should be enough room.

It would take more time but unless someone else has another suggestion, 
I would say delete the WoW files you have and trying an install from 
disk or web and see if that cleans it up.
