Hi, I've installed a game from a CD-ROM, (by typing 'wine setup.exe' in the console) but I cannot get my wine installation to recognize that the disk is in the drive and actually start the software. If I launch the program, it complains that the disk is not present. If I launch wineconfig, the Drives tab is entirely blank, with the exception of this message:> > failed to connect to the mount manager, the drive configuration cannot be editedIs there any way to force wine to recognize a mounted CD drive through the console perhaps? Is there some way to restore my 'mount manager'?

Thanks for the reply. Hmmm. Looks like my /Media folder isn't empty. It has a cdrom0 and a floppy0 folder and two links called cdrom and floppy as well as a file called .hal-mtab. my etc/fstab has the exact same line in it you quoted /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 So using my novice-Linux knowledge I get the impression that everything's ok on the Linux end, but wine is just looking for it in the wrong place. Since I cant edit it in wineconfig, is there a file where I can edit it manually?
