	THE reason why it never will work is incompatibility of Wine and Windows 
registry. Without such a compatibility using Windows partition is useless. None 
of programs which require installation will work. But it's worse than this. 
Wine will update your Windows partition and Windows will die. And because such 
a "prefix" will contain lots of garbage Wine will not work correctly. If you 
want to kill your Windows installation and create in its place large broken 
Wineprefix with lots of garbage - feel free to go ahead.

	All of above already was explained to you.
