No matter which game I try to run, the games installs, but cannot find the CD-ROM to play the game. I am using Ubunto 11.10 & PlayOnLinux. Am a new user on Ubunto which is part of the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue. Fable The Lost Chapters cannot find the CD-ROM to even install. The Sims Medieval errors with a critical error while trying to install. Sims2 cannot find the CD-ROM to play the game after install. So far the only game I can use since using Wine is Wizard101. Which plays as well as in windows for me. So, I have one game to play since installing Ubuntu 11.10

I'm having the same issue with Morrowind. PlayOnLinux finds it fine for the install, but when I try to run the game, it says "unable to find a CDROM drive on this computer".

I think that this might be a general Wine issue, and not a PlayOnLinux issue, but I'm not sure, and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I cannot install sims2 because wine does not recognise the disc is there when prompting for disc2.

Necromancy is a no-no (this thread was last updated like, 4 years ago). lol. Please start a new thread next time. For now, you could try to copy the discs to a folder and point the installer there instead of the discs. This is a common workaround for this problem. So, instead of telling it to use a disc, tell it to use an EXE (most of the installers give this choice), and then just point the installer to where you copied the discs to.
