I don't know if I understood correctly, but the CD IS mounted on media/cdrom
Inside the CD there are two folders, one named Band in a box 2008 and the other one contains a patch (don't know if that's the correct word, but like an add-on) to run the program in Spanish. The later I haven't touched. When you open the Band in a box folder, there's only 1 file that's called Band in a box.exe
When you right click it to open it with Wine, the setup has like 10 different programs that apparently go with BIAB (master blues, jazz solos, etc..) Some folders get installed in C:/bb and other in C:/Program Archives

Any clue on what's going on?
