As I recall wine doesn't work with windows kernel level drivers so it has problems with some usb devices and such. If it really was ever an issue you could try this but, I'm not sure it would necessarily work for everything.

Create symbolic links from /media/cdrom to ~/.wine/dosdevices/D:, which solves the error message.

if you arn't sure how to do the above:
let's say your cd mounts to /media/cdrom

ln -s /media/cdrom ~/.wine/dosdevices/D:
the syntax is ln -s(for symbolic link as opposed to hard link) <link target> <link name>
