Wine programs can't open files from another hard drive

I can't open any files (music, video, any type of files) on my second hard drive via Wine. If I copy that file to home folder, then I can. But I don't want to copy each file (I haven't got much space on first one) How can I make it work?

Create a link to the second hard drive

  1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
  2. Run ln -s /path/to/second/hard/drive ~/second-hard-drive (replace /path/to/second/hard/drive with the actual path to the second hard drive)

This will create a link called second-hard-drive to your second hard drive inside your home directory. You can use that as if it's a regular directory containing everything in your second hard drive.
