Having trouble opening a disk from program running in WINE

I've been using this program called The Rosetta Stone on Windows, and it needs to load the seperate language disks. So far I have the program installed in Wine (version 0.9.18) and everytime I run the it the program will load, but it cannot find the disk in my drive. I'm assuming there is a simple solution that I am overlooking, but any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

The generic howto:

Have ~/.wine/dosdevices/a: be a symlink to /mnt/floppy, or wherever you mount your floppies

Code:

$ ln -s /mnt/floppy ~/.wine/dosdevices/a:

Then, whenever a program asks you to insert a floppy disk, insert it, and mount it.

Code:

# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

Tell the program that you've inserted the disk.

When you're done with that disk, unmount it again

Code:

# umount /mnt/floppy

Then take out the floppy disk.

Are you already doing this? Are you doing parts of this? Do you by `disk' mean CDs (in which case the procedure is the same but with different names for stuff)? Which part fails? What are the exact error messages?

Yeah, it was for CDs. I just changed floppy to cdrom, and it worked without any issues. Thanks for the help.
