Installing game from multiple cds in QEMU

I have Windows XP 32 bit running under Fedora 26 using KVM and QEMU. I am trying to install a four disk game but having an issue. When I put the second disk in, the install program does not acknowledge the disk. Any ideas?

There is a command line that lets you switch media. Look at the manual or web page or I think you can use qemu on command line.

To get to the command line is I forget now. Some key combo. Think it's call monitor.

When I put the disk in, autodetect opens the window listing the files. I think it is a limitation in QEMU. Nothing I can do I guess. For future generations, I deleted and reinstalled the dvd drivers. You may have to try the install more than once.
