I speak french, and what I understood, is that your CD is not correctly setup in Wine.
check out your wine conf.

It should probably be set up for you, but snoop around in your ~/.wine folder. (~ == your home folder, so /home/coastie/.wine/)
Yes, the . in .wine is significant.

use kwrite or kate or whatever other text editor you like.
vi works well, but I prefer the GUI tools.

| Vi works better than well. Vi gives you the power to be efficient. Vi works at the command line. Once a few commands are learned Vi turns you into a mean config file editing machine.

VI is a must to know for those moments when you are stuck in a console mode for some reason. I use it mostly when I SSH to my work remotely and I want to edit a file quickly without sftp it just to edit it.
It's nice but...when I'm on my desktop, I prefer a GUI interface like Kate. Xemacs is cool too, but I kind of stay away from it on Suse since the latest version doesn't support UTF-8 character input from the keyboard, this means you can't write accented characters in SuSE. I found I can start it with the command "LANG=en_US xemacs" to avoid this, but It's anoying to always open a console just to start xemacs...

drive M is what your CD is called in wine.conf
modify that.
vi /home/*username*/.wine/wine.conf
should be somewhere or something like that.
