No magic here. Just link your ~/.wine/dosdevices/c: to where the windows
partition is mounted. You must have r/w permission and any other drives
under windows (d:, e: ...) should be available under wine under the same
letters.

Looks like you are successful. Wineboot uses the windows registry to run
services, startup programs, drivers that don't work (and don't need to
work) in wine. Running wineboot like: 
"env WINEDEBUG=+wineboot wineboot" will show you what it is trying to
do.

You are not telling what not.

That is probably true and points to the recommended way of running wine:
run it without windows, copy the files that you need over to your Linux
setup.
