Wine Fails to recognize DVD RW Drive

FirstDerivative · Post by **FirstDerivative** » Fri May 29, 2009 2:28 pm

Greetings, thank you in advance for the help. I'm currently running the Jaunty Ubuntu release with Wine 1.1.22. P4, 1 DVD Drive, one DVD R/W drive, 1.5 GB Ram, 20 GB Ubuntu partition, 46 gb Windows 7 partition. After difficulties with getting Wine to find my DVD R/W drive, i added the drive manually through /media/cdrom01. However, now IMGBurn, which I am trying to use, recognizes my computer as having 2 DVD Drives and no writers. Does the community have any suggestions?
Thanks,
FD

A) Make sure you've got a symlink to the device itself as well as to
/media/cdrom01
B) Try setting the windows version to NT 4.0

How do I set a symlink to device?

That didn't work, but thanks.

You should have something like:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 austin austin 10 2009-04-28 15:10 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 austin austin 10 2009-04-28 15:10 d: -> /media/cdrom01
lrwxrwxrwx 1 austin austin 1 2009-04-28 15:10 z: -> /

use:
ln -s /dev/sdc d\:\:

adjust /dev/sdc to be the device and 'd' to be the drive letter.

Fixed -
the symlink was to "i:" instead of "d:"
Thanks Austin!

My apologies for bringing up an old post, but I'm at a loss here. I am new to MAC and also wine. I have no issues with finding/running programs I've installed using WINE with Terminal. But I have 2 programs that will not detect a device, 1 being ImgBurn.

I opened up Winecfg and found the drives listed. D: not being one of the so I added D: and tried numerous ways to add the MAC DVD player to it, but have failed miserably. I tried autodetect, browsing for the DVD player application, adding /dev/sdc also /dev/sdc/ d\:\: and still nothing.

Might I ask for step by step instructions to assist this newbie with accomplishing this? Thanks ever so much!

Wine - 1.1.40
27" iMAC (new) with Snow Leopard
