Installing a game with multiple discs on laptop (Windows 8)

[Guest MariaPickering]

Hi,

 

 

I'm currently using a Toshiba laptop running Windows 8. When I try to install an older PC game that uses four discs to install, I run into an interesting issue.

 

 

I can insert the first disc into the dvd/cd drive and it will open up and I click to give permission to run and installation begins. When it hits 25% installed it asks for the second disc. Naturally, this being a laptop only has one disc drive.

 

 

So I remove disc 1 and insert disc 2. For some reason it does not get read properly and installation does not continue. If I try to open the disc drive location and click on the setup/exe file on disc 2 it thinks I'm trying to start installation over.

 

 

How can I change my settings to read through the multiple disc installation process?

 

 

Thank you,
