Install multi-disk program

jbumgar · 09-06-2006, 07:41 PM

I'm having trouble installing a MS game which has 2 disks.I am using Ubuntu if that makes a difference. What happens is I have 2 drives. I put the first disk into the cdrom drive which is cdrom0. The program loads a folder from the cdrom. I then type setup. It then does the install. Then it asks for disk 2 and it wants the 2nd disk from drive Z: When I try to put the disk in the cdrom0 drive it won't eject the disk! What do I need to do?

After I get this done I hope it run on wine.

You have to unmount the cdrom drive before it will eject.

I had a similar problem. I couldn't unmount the cd because the setup program was still running from it. In the end I copied both cds into a new directory and run the setup from there.

Yeah, I've had to do that too with Diablo II. Not knowing what game the OP is trying to install, it's difficult to give more detailed advice.

I had that problem with Dungeon Siege. I worked around it by opening a shell and typing "eject -m [device]"
