Problem accessing cd-rom with wine (Morrowind)

[Dralnu]

I've recently just installed Morrowind on my system. It installed fine and everything, but now when I try to run it, it complains about not being able to find the cd.

I have tried setting it up to see /dev/cdrom as D:, and /mnt/cdrom with the cd mounted.

What else could I be missing, or what else can I do to get it to work?

Try running 'winecfg' and running the 'autodetect' feature in the drives tab. Maybe something got mixed up?

3 ways to solve this

1. get no-cd fix.
2. Wine versions since 0.9.18 and up can use hald to totally autoconfigure cdrom drive letters and device nodes and device type... this might not however work in 64bit Gentoo system to test type WINEDEBUG=+explorer winecfg when you have the cd mounted.
3. set it up manually by making symlink d: in ~/.wine/dosdevices pointing to /mnt/cdrom and then device symlink named d:: pointing to /dev/cdrom and last configure device type as cdrom from winecfg for that device.

and before doing anything update to Wine 0.9.49 and (re)move old ~/.wine or use new WINEPREFIX.

Also note
-kernel bugs in some kernels might prevent copy protection from working or
-this bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10293
since the game uses SafeDisc version 2.51.021 (english) or 2.60.052 (german) as said in daemon-tools gamedb.
-SafeDisk 2.x might not work in Wine yeat some newer versions might work but updating the secdrv.sys might cause the bug I noted earlier.
