Try:

sudo dpkg -P wine1.0; sudo apt-get --purge remove wine; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine1.3

May help

Can you also have the CD in the tray and run:

sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive

Thanks

Got the Wine update and still does not work. Also tried the "play on linux" app and got the same result.

When I tried the "sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive" command it listed all the drives info, and knew that the Oblivion disk was in the drive. But it still does not recognize the drive when I try to launch the game.

Are there certain CD/DVD roms that work better with linux?

Optical drives use defacto standards so are al pretty much equal.

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive

I dug my my copy of KOTOR and tried that. Disk one loaded through Wine, but when it came time to install disk two it would not "auto run" and would not recognize the cd-rom drive. So its definitely a game issue of some sort.

udo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive is as follows:
