Ok so thanks for your reply, but that didn't quite work. I tried your exact command and got Code: $ wine eject Z:\media Usage: eject [-u] [-a] [-h] [x:]... -a Eject all the CD drives we find -h Display this help message -u Unmount only, don't eject the CD x: Eject drive x: So then I just did Code: wine eject -a and that seemed to run ok. Then I manually ejected the disk, put the second disk in but it was not recognized in the same way. So I found a workaround, basically copying the disks to my HD and installing from there. Things installed correctly but now when I start the game (with the CD in the drive and Ubuntu seeing it as far I can tell...) I get the famous "cannot find the CD-ROM, please make sure you have the right disk inserted". This is now AFTER the installation. Is there some global permissions problem with CD drive that I can work on?
