And I don't want to ever see you recommending it again on this forum! There are actually two components to this. First, the OS has to mount the CD so Wine can see it. Then, Wine has to assign it a drive letter. Typically, this is all done automatically. But not always. So here are two things to check: 1. Did the OS mount the CD? (For your sake, I certainly hope so...) To find out, look on your desktop somewhere for a CD icon. If it didn't, you might have to mount it yourself. Don't ask about that around here; there are plenty of Linux sites and forums all around the Internet that will tell you how to do this. 2. Did Wine assign the CD a drive letter? To find out, open winecfg (type "winecfg" from a Terminal), and go to the "Drives" tab. There's a list of drive letters and their associated mount points. If your CD's mount point isn't listed (to find THAT out, try opening the CD in your file browser to see where that takes you), Wine didn't give it a drive letter. That's easy to fix. Just create a new drive (click "Add") with type "CD-ROM" and with your CD's mount point. Again, Wine and Linux should do all this automatically, so you might not have to do any of this. HTH Chip
--- Winefile is inappropriate. Don't use it. And I don't want to ever see you recommending it again on this forum! --- There's nothing wrong about using winefile. I don't remember which application but there are cases in which u have to use that. I thought it could be cdrom related... This doesn't work. winecfg seems to always lose the cdrom. Can't use TR3.- maybe I try like with the FS4 discs and mount them manually...but i thought it could be easier. Cheers Michael

I thought it could be cdrom related...This isn't true - winefile is just a convenience application that offers you a file browser as well as some functionality tied together from other Wine tools - like wine eject for CD-ROMs. Everything can (and should) be run through Wine, not Winefile, in order to minimize the amount of irrelevant error/fixme messages on the terminal when debugging - who knows which of the messages come from winefile or the app it executed, after all? What entry to /media/cdrom (or appropiate mount point) do you have in winecfg? Do you know of any special security the CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) might have that prevents the app from properly detecting the drive? And what terminal output are you getting when launching the app?
