wine users - Nov 2010 - Problem with winecfg on new machine

I must be missing something.  SimCity4 insists on having the play disk in the CD
drive and claims it can't see it.

I did a full install from the drive and it saw it fine until it came time to run
the program.  As soon as the .exe started to load, it claimed it could not see
the drive.

The drive just happens to be a blu-ray dvdrw, but Linux has one of its
personalities as /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/sr0.

I have tried configuring both of these at different times, and no soap.  I have
even told the configuration that this is a CD-ROM.

O/S Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. Wine 1.3.6
No console messages from winecfg.

Is the problem only with this particular CD? If it is, it's most likely a
copy protection issue.

say the game requires a nocd crack.
