Steam flat out refuses to install on any drive that is not DRIVE_FIXED, so all
games purchased on Steam are unusable.

Fairly serious for a certain class of people (those using NFS /home and owning
games on Steam).

I worked on a patch for making the winecfg settings override
NtQueryVolumeInformationFile but found no way to make it not universally
override it - it returns DRIVE_FIXED for drives with no winecfg setting, which
means NtQueryVolumeInformationFile would be overridden in all cases and that
doesn't seem to be the intention.

I only solved this problem in the simplest way possible for all standard wine
installs.
