Mount it, say on /windows/c.  Create a new partition, put a fat32
(or ext2 or ext3 or reiserfs or...) partition on it:

mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/hd<n>

mount this, say on /mnt/new

#!/bin/bash
##copy a directory or partition
tar -C "$1" -cOl . | tar -C "$2" -xpf -

put this script in a file, say ~/tartar, and make it executable

(might need to fromdos it first to remove carriage retirns:
tr -d "\r" <mailfile >.... oh nuts, I'll just attach it.

tartar /windows/c /mnt/new

Yes.  Wine does not need a steenking windows partition.  You can point
any wine [Drive X] to any directory in any mounted vfs filesystem,
including /.  Might not want to do that, though.  I wouldn't want
windows apps to be able to get at all my fs.

You will need a c:\\windows and c:\\windows\\system, but you can make
those with mkdir.  It won't bother wine if they are empty, unless you
tell it to use some native dll's.

I have never had a windows partition, and have been running this app
or an earlier version of it since I got serial comms to work in
September 1997.

Right.  We're doing a file trace of the wine loader.  You only really
need +file if it can't find something you think it should.

Did you set the default to
"*" = "native, builtin" or something?  AFAIK there is no native
wineoss.drv, that needs to be builtin.  native rpcrt4 won't work, I
think.  The only native dll's I use are msvcrt, riched32 and mfc* -
because my app installed those.  Seems imm32.dll has enough deadbeef
of its own (calls to undocumented functions we haven't gotten around to
reverse-engineering yet) you don't neeed more from ole32, FI.

<wine>/documentation/samples/config is a good starting point for
[DllOverrides]
