What version of Wine are you using? The registry branch that stores
whether a drive is an hd or a cdrom was marked as volatile a while back,
so it was never saved between invocations of Wine. This caused the
setting to be lost as soon as winecfg was closed. Try it with a current
version of Wine, and quite possibly a fresh configuration (ie. a new
.wine directory).
Failing that, post what you have in your registry under
HKLM/Software/Wine/drives (I have a key with name "D:", type "REG_SZ",
and data "cdrom").
Hope that helps,
