[vox-tech] Wine on amd64 for 32bit win

[Alex Mandel]

So after browsing some literature I decided I needed to install a 
chroot(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575) to run wine 
inside of, that way I could use i386 packages.

That part went fine. Now I'm trying to configure wine and it's 
complaining that it can't find my windows partition. Now that makes 
sense, since I haven't mounted it yet.

So I tried to mount my windows NTFS partition in  (etc/fstab):
/dev/sda1       /Windows        ntfs    umask=0222   0       0

and it works, except I can't open the partition, permission denied.
I've toggled the settings a few times and sudo mount -a after each but 
always the same result.

Now what?

Thanks,
Alex
