You can create a symbolic link (which is what Wine does anyway)
cd $HOME/<Wineprefix>/dosdevices
ls
This will give a list of devices.
ln -s /media/cdrom d: (if a d: already exists, select the FIRST entry
that does not have a : (leave the :: entries alone). On my system this
would be j. (c-i are in use...)
This should link the drive to the d: pseudodevice.
wine winecfg.
You should now see a device for your external drive where you put the
symbolic link.
