The Windows program needs a CD to be into the CD-ROM device. When I run the program (the installation was 100% OK) I always get a message about there is no CD. Whenever I launch winecfg I get this message if I click on the Devices tab: "fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0)". In that tab I can see that the CD is recognised by Wine (Label and Serial # are listed). Any suggestion? P.S.: I am running Wine 1.0.0
Sounds like a copy protection issue. What app is it? Have you checked the AppDB?

It was an answer to "The problem seems to be a rights one, as cdrom0 belongs to root and I cannot change that." If jaezcurra had not at least read access on his cdrom drive, then he cound not install his software...

You have at least read access to the cdrom device (see where /dev/cdrom* points to) 2. The type of the d: drive have to be set to auto-detect or cdrom.
