Output when installing the game

After installing Medieval 2 Total War from disc sucessfully. I can not launch
the game without applying a no-cd patch because wine says it can not find the
cd even though both drives show up in winecfg. Note: I used iso files and
mounted them in /mnt/m2tw1 and /mnt/m2tw2/ it should not make a difference as
they both show up in winecfg.

On windows xp when using real physical drives it worked fine.

I forgot to mention that I am running fedora 20 which I believe has SELinux
enabled.

That's not how copy protection/DRM schemes are supposed to work.

Mounted ISO images are not the same thing as mounted physical media (CD/DVD).
Please mount the physical media properly.

For images that are cloned DRM-protected DVD discs (using proprietary optical
disc authoring software) there exist virtual disk drive emulators, for example
CDemu.
Since it's widely used for piracy/copy protection/DRM circumvention purposes
you have to figure it out on your own, no support here.

"Medieval 2 Total War" is SafeDisc v4 (v4.60) which is supported by Wine out of
the box.

Thanks for the info, I will use a no-cd patch and update appdb.

maybe you misunderstood ... Wine supports most DRM schemes.
It should work as long as you start the game with properly mounted original
physical media.
I tested a game with SafeDisc 4.x DRM some time ago and it worked fine.

If you don't happen to have the physical media for whatever reasons you
obviously need no-cd, yes.

I have the physical media I just do not have an optical drive on the laptop I
want to play this on.
