looks like you didn't define your drives correct in the dosdevices dir (in 
newer wine versions this isn't in the config file anymore).
assuming that your wine dir is /home/richard/.wine you should look in:
/home/richard/.wine/dosdevices
there should be symlinks to your windows drives normally something like:
c: -> ../drive_c
or c: -> ../fake_windows

hope this helps.

cu,

Stefan
