My suggestion, drop back and punt:

    sudo apt-get purge wine ttf-mscorefonts-installer

then add the fonts one of two ways:

    sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

or

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

which I believe includes the the fonts.

once that is done then re-install wine

    sudo apt-get install wine

As for mounting the windows partition to Wine C: you have one of two 
options that I can tell:

First:

    sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sd[a-z][1-9] [path to Wine C:]

where sd[a-z][1-9] is the partition on your hard drive that has your 
windows build.

example:
    sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /home/user/wine/C

this will affectively hide (not erase) what ever you have at that 
location but should see all of your windows partition.  Changing things 
in this partition may corrupt your windows build so proceed forewarned.

Second is similar except you create the mount point yourself:

    mkdir /home/user/windowspart

    sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sd[a-z][1-9] /home/user/windowspart

Once this is done you should be able to change Wine's configuration to 
point to the new location.  Look for something that asks where the C: 
drive is located.  I personally run window aps in a virtual environment 
but the above should work.  A word in from anyone to clarify or correct 
is appreciated, I am not near where I can set up a test.  Hope this helps.
