Software Preferences Error

[smithveg]

Sorry for that, i missing a step just now.
After i run the wine bs106.exe second time, it require me to select the path
to install.
Then, i try to click browser. I just can access root(/), filesystem, and C.
How can i point the path to others drive?
I have 2 drive,
30GB(8gb for root, 1gb for swap, 20GB for storage)
15GB(7.5 for MEDIA, 7.5 for DATA)

The core application is located in 20GB for storage, (hda5 is the name for
it in places->computer)
So, how can i point to it?

Thank your reply, you really bring me from a zero experiences to a certain
point now.
Thanks
