After my laptop corrupting dvd after dvd, I decided to plug in the dvd drive from my other PC, which broke down 2 months ago. I connected it through a USB SATA interface and since it´s the second drive, it´s under "/media/cdrom1/" now.
However, Wine doesn´t detect the drive when I choose "Auto Detect", nor does it allow me to add an actual drive name when adding a new drive.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04,
Wine Ver.: 1.2 RC4.
Drive Ver.: Toshiba TS-H653
Special:
- Drive connected through USB SATA.

You can create a symbolic link (which is what Wine does anyway)

cd $HOME/<Wineprefix>/dosdevices

ls
This will give a list of devices.

ln -s /media/cdrom d: (if a d: already exists, select the FIRST entry that does not have a : (leave the :: entries alone). On my system this would be j. (c-i are in use...)

This should link the drive to the d: pseudodevice.

wine winecfg.

You should now see a device for your external drive where you put the symbolic link.
