I installed some CD based windows educational software in wine and it works great, except for some reason it can't find the disk unless I manually change the path from its default location G:/media/user/cdname/ to D:/media/user/cdname/, but this is reset back to G:/... every time I put in a new cd. Is there a way to permanently change this location to D? There are too many disks to virtually mount them from my hard drive

This is on ubuntu 19.04 and wine 4.7

Note that in the ~/.wine/dosdevices directory both d: and g: symbolic links point to /media/user_family/Geom-9 (which I assume is the mountpoint of the CD) and both d:: and g:: point to /dev/sr0 which is the device for the CD drive.

While Wine is not running, delete the extra g: and g:: symbolic links:

rm ~/.wine/dosdevices/g: ~/.wine/dosdevices/g::

Once the duplicates have been removed, your CD drive should stay as G:.
