Wine newbie - "CD/DVD not found"

Post by theodolite »

I'm trying to install an old game, King of Dragon Pass, from an .iso I created from a CD-ROM (I'm on a netbook and I don't have an external CD drive) According to the AppDB the game works fine in Wine. Per the instructions for the 1.3 version, I ran the installer (which worked fine) from ~/.wine/dosdevices/d:, not from /mnt/kodp/ where I had mounted the iso. (I used ln -s to link d: to /mnt/kodp/ - was this correct?) However, when I run wine KoDP.exe from where it installed in Program Files, or even from where the CD is mounted (since you can play the game right off the CD), I get a "CD/DVD not found" error.

I've never used Wine before, so I figure I'm missing something obvious. Can anyone point out what it is?[/url]

Problem solved. My mistake was symlinking the d: drive to the directory where I had mounted the iso, not to the .iso file itself.
