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,
