It goes fine for the first part of the installation (cdrom 1) but when I put cdrom 2 in it, it does not recognize it and it seems that my cd drive just dies? I can't eject it or anything and the computer does not seem to recognize my cd drive. It just dies and I have to get it out with a paper clip. When I reboot my computer though, my cdrom works fine again.

Help?

BTW, I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with an Compaq computer. Maybe I need to install a driver for my cd drive?

EDIT: This is the message I get when I try to install, if I click "close", the installation still runs but it stops after disk 1 and won't recognize disk 2

I have legal copies of the disk so I don't see why it does not recognise it.

Do you've got multiple disk drives?
It seems that your cdroms are mounted only in cdrom0 so there should be no problem at all.

I only have one cdrom drive and one hard drive connected. I searched google and I heard that some versions of linux don't support muti session disk reading/burning with some particular cd drives?

did you try to make iso from you CDs and then install MW?

no, i did not try that yet. What program would you recommend for disk copying or making iso's?

EDIT: this is the part my computer gets stuck at. It gets stuck at disk 2 and my cd drive dies and I can't get the disk out manually (other than using a paper clip) until I reboot.


sorry for my extremely huge image...

here's a thumbnail

You didn't insert second disk on that screenshot and there is no prompt about second cd.

The problem isn't in your hardware but in software. Either OS or Wine (or maybe I thus creating wrong script ) . To see if it's OS or Wine please do

in terminal after MW asks you about next cd. Then see if you can change cds.

ok, thank you

does it work?

sadly it doesn't

What distro of linux did you use to create the prefixes?

If it doesn't work then it isn't wine issue.



I used Fedora 11.
