Simple answer: you CAN’T. Windows demands direct access to the hardware and cannot get it with Wine and UNIX in the way Wine is supposed to be primarily used WITHOUT Windows. If you want to use a Windows installation, then use an existing installation alongside the UNIX installation (see the dual-boot HOWTO for your OS for more details). Or alternatively use the cabextract utility to extract Windows install archives to a directory that you want to use as Wine’s Windows tree.
