yes, you might need to use the same drive for both disks, try deleting all relevant files and starting over using both disks in the same drive

I installed a two disk game in the CD-ROM, after it finished installing, I clicked and play and error poped up saying:

I inserted the first disk into the CD-ROM, did the same for disk 2, it didn't work.

Can you try the following

Remove both disks from the computer
Reboot the computer

Afterwards, ONLY put Disk 2 into the CD bay
See if that helps

I inserted Disk 2 into CD-ROM

And it still shows the same error message.

It should be labelled Disk 2, do you have the original CD's or is this a copy of them?

Post by: SnakeTheLegend on October 08, 2007, 02:43:08 PM

1) I inserted disk one in CD-ROM
2) At 50% it said insert disk 2
3) I took out disk one from CD-ROM and inserted disk 2
4) When it finished installing, I clicked play error poped up.
5) I restarted computer inserted disk two in CD-ROM
6) And the message error poped up again.

That's what I was asking, probably the reason why your having problems getting the game to run
Your running NON original copies of the game
This forum isn't for info on getting illegal software running
