i've seen plenty of similar threads but none really let me play starcraft. i've installed it and i can get to where it says play starcraft and preview and all the other good stuff but when i hit play it says there isnt a cd in the cdrom.

i no my cdrom is hdc so what do i do

any help would be severely appreciated(except for illegal stuff.)

Did you add /mnt/cdrom (or wherever you mount your CD drive) to the list of wine drives? You can do this through winecfg or by hand like this:

Code:

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/
ln -s /mnt/cdrom d:

Once again, assuming you mount /dev/hdc on /mnt/cdrom.

thats probably right but it won't give me permission to do so

:drown: any more ideas?

What do you mean, it won't give you permission? Which command are you unable to run?

**teheternalnewb** · 07-07-2006

i do the
ln -s /mnt/cdrom d:
command and it either says permission denied or doesnt do anything

Are you in the ~/.wine/dosdevices directory? And by "it doesn't do anything", do you mean it prints nothing out? If so, then it worked. Try ls ~/.wine/dosdevices and see if d: comes up.

it only says"a: c: cdrom cdrom: cdrom0 d: e: h:" it still says insert the cd

That's not very clear. Can you post the output in a more readable manner?

Also, please post the content of /etc/fstab :

Code:

cat /etc/fstab

okay here goes... the result of

Code:

 ls ~/.wine/dosdevices

\ is a: c: cdrom cdrom: cdrom0 d: e: h:

i can still get starcraft into where i should start to play but it still says the cd is not in

and

Code:

 cat /etc/fstab

is
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

Ok then.

As a user (not root), do :

Code:

cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/
rm d:
ln -s /media/cdrom0 d:

Very that the symlink is ok with :

Code:

ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/
