MP2 installation issue

I had trouble finding an existing topic on this, so here it is (apologies if it has already been covered):

I just tried installing MP2 on a fresh, just installed version of XP Home. The problem occurs when the second installation disc is half-way through. I get a popup from windows telling me that i need to stick disc 1 in. The installation stops and whatever i do (retry, cancel, continue having put the first disc in again) results in the installation terminating.

Keep in mind it is not the actual install application that seems to be doing this. I don't get the same box that tells me to replace disc 1 with disc 2, as per normal. I get that box at the appropriate time, but then once disc 2 is halfway through i get the problematic dialogue box, which is more like your standard windows error message.

Does anybody know what's going on?

Seems your disc is dirty or broken.

• Carefully clean the surface with a dishwashing liquid or glass cleaner and dry with a soft cloth. Try to not make any more scratches
• If the problem persists, try Isobuster to make an image of the CD, which you can then mount. Freeware capabilities of Isobuster should be sufficient, very very useful program.

Thanks a bunch, Wellenreiter!
