Wine-No CD-ROM drive found

Bellator777 · Post by **Bellator777** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 3:40 pm

Ok, i'm terrible with computers, so i would like an explanation in simple terms. So I'm trying to play a game using Wine, I've installed the game, but when i click play, a box pops up that says "No CD-ROM drive found" I would like to know how to fix this problem.

Read that 4.1.4 paragraph. Basically, you probably need to have your drive mapped in winecfg (it's in the link I sent you, but you can do it graphically in winecfg). If it is already, then the issue is different and you should come back with some terminal output.

Ok, i think i have my CD-ROM drive mapped out, i got something like this,//home/thanatos777/.wine/dosdevices/d:/cdrom':. The Type is set as "local hard disk". Now what?

You need to set it to Type "CDROM", not "local hard disk".

Auto detect (for finding the storage type) has never failed me.
Do you have D mapped to '/media/[whatever]"?
Did you check via typing "mount" in terminal or by Nautilus that you assigned a drive letter to where the disc is mounted?

Cheers,
Jake

P.S Maybe it would be a good idea if WINE prefixes would automatically detect inserted CDs and assign them drive letters. Maybe. Or Maybe have auto-detection as an option?

It already does that.

It already does that.

That's cool. I haven't noticed it do that yet, but I will have to try it out.

Cheers,

Jake:

I have several 'extra' drives on my Mac as installers come as 'disk
image' files. I fired up winecfg and I had drives, drives and more
drives. The disk image files were marked as read-only local hard
drives. The DVD for Quake4 was marked as a CD-Rom/DVD and again
read-only.

I could clean up what is there and then see what happens when I start
up Winecfg again this evening.
