Hello,

what the app is basically trying to do on standard wine 'drive_c'
(dosdevices/c:) -> seeking/reading/writing raw sectors (bootsector, file system
structures, ...) won't work/is not supported by design.
It would be pointless for wine 'pseudo' disk devices.

If you want the tool to mess with a real windows partition you can of course
mount it, set the right permissions for raw access and add/configure it using
winecfg drive mapping.

Just an advice ... if you use such tools that directly read/write from/to disk,
skipping OS/filesystem drivers use a separate disk/partition for recovery.
Modifying an already corrupted disk is asking for trouble.

WONTFIX in my opinion. Some info should be added to the appdb entry to explain
the issue.
Ideally there could be a small wiki entry too so one can just refer to it next
time ;-)

Regards
