You must be talking about a virtual machine. WINE implements the Windows API calls and turns them into Linux/X API calls. There are several virtual machines available for Linux (VMWare, Virtual Box, Xen are a few). The virtual machines typically use a single file that is used as the "disk" for the virtual system. I think some (like VMWare) will allow you to point to an actual partition or make a disk image from a partition for use in the virtual machine. It would probably be better to use a file as the disk in a virtual machine rather than a physical partition. --- Jon M.
