People reported this happening on Windows, though, so I don't think it's Wine. They were using removable drives AFAIK, and I wonder if those were using a different file system.
i know why it wasn't working. the usb drive was FAT, i reformatted it to NTFS and that seemed to do the trick.
i dont know the difference between NTFS and FAT but blockland seems to malfunction when used an FAT. my suggestion to anyone with this problem should backup all data on there hard drive and reformat it to NTFS.
