Too little info.
Assuming the CD lists that it will run only on Windows, you should install Wine first and then run the CD.

A bit more infor about "physics cdrom" will help people to help you better.
Is it a course/tutorial CD like the CBT Nuggets/Tesout CDs or is it the cdrom drive brand or what ? Elabotrate.

I take it you meant "physical drive" ,in any case.
As you didnt state : wether the drive is attached to the PC or what steps you have taken so far and errors it throws I will assume its attched to your computer and you just want to be able to read it. in which case just insert a cd into the drive , open a terminal and type:
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
if that doesnt work (only if above fails)
mkdir /media/cdromdrive
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdromdrive
you have to be root for all these commands to work.if it doesnt work post all errors you get.

Hi, I am a newbie and is looking for solution to use cd-rom under redhat
Xen (virtual machine of windows 2003, I only can see the qemu cd rom but can't use it), I found one solution as Installing and using a fully-virtualized Xen guest,
Using a real CD-ROM drive
You can also use a real CD-ROM drive in the virtual guest. Use the following device entry for the guest CD-ROM drive, changing the source option to list the device name of the CD-ROM drive to be used:
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='phy'/>
<source dev='/dev/hdc'/>
<target dev='hdc'/>
<readonly/>
</disk>
It looks like I should modify a file when the linux boots
HOW

should put one cd media in your drive and restart the virtual op ( in my case is windows) and the windows can find the disk, working fine. but if you want to change the media, it will have problem. I have seen reject the media first and then put one back, I will google it later

Was trying long and hard to figure out how to present CD/DVD media to the paravirtualized host. Worked like a charm for me! Hope it helps!
