Problems identifying the DVD

[porcini]

Hope you guys can help me with this weird problem.

Got the game on DVD. During installation it prompts "insert disk 2", but when inserted it never recognizes it. The computer still thinks "empire_disc1" is in the DVD-drive - I can even open and explore the DVD - showing the content of DVD1.
I inserted another DVD (company of heroes) - and it still showed the content of E:TW DVD1. For the fun of it, I tried to play COH (from the dvd) during the E:TW installation, and it worked. When the E:TW installation was terminated I reinserted disc2 and then it recognized it.

It seems not to be able to identify DVDs during installation. I never had that or similar (in fact none) problems with my DVD-drive.

Btw I use XP and have pc that should be able to do the job.

Thanks

i assume you tried restarting. If you have to you can always dl the game from steam

Welcome to the forum.

As you can read disk2 (after the install has failed) there isn't anything wrong with the disk - so you can't take it back as faulty. There must be some problem with your PC.

I've been able to install my game off the DVD-ROMs without a problem (twice).

You can also copy data from your disks to HDD and start install from folder, if both disks are copied to same place it never asks disk change.
Worked for me more than once. Tho id go and change the copy for working one.

Ok.. Thanks, guys. The "install from hdd" sounds like a good idea. After it has installed the first DVD, though, the option: "play" came up on the autorun-menu, which, when pressed, apparently, downloads the remainder from steam. My internetconnection is , so by the time it´s done cars can fly and you can live on the moon....

I had the same problem. Its not a problem with your computer.

The installer is just being a bit stubborn. I had to eject and reinsert the dvd several times while constantly hitting the "ok" button before the installer was convinced that the disc titled "disk 2" in my drive was indeed the "disk 2" it was requesting.
