So I'm re-installing Mass Effect 2 and it's asking for disc 2 to be inserted. Yet everytime I insert the disc and press retry saying that Disc 2 is in it. It pops the disc back out saying there is no disc in the drive. I've never had this problem before when it was first installed.
Please note: This disc has not been touched in a long while, and is in great condition after inspecting today.
Mass Effect 2 Disc 2 unreadable?

When you put any disk into the drive, there is a brief period of about 5 seconds where it spins the disk up to register that it is an actual readable disk. Wait for the disk to stop spinning before telling the installation to continue.
If you have 2 dvd driives, check to make sure you dont have any disk in the other drive while you are trying to install the game, as that can also acuse this error.

If you can't fix the problem, install the EA Download Manager. Log in to your account and you can download Mass Effect 2 legally for free, since you've already registered it.

@Bogsnot1 I've waited to near half an hour and it doesn't recognize it. The odd part as well is when I'm NOT installing and I put disc 2 in it notices it right away.
@Fredvdp I've had EA download manager and I always get some error with it so it never opens. I'll try re-installing it this way and see if it works.
Thanks for the help
Edit: Alright the download manager works, but it's saying I have no games registered with it. There a way to get those registered games on there?

Sometimes there is a conflict between some DVD drives and various of EA's disks. I had to install across my network from an old PC with a DVD that the disks preferred, onto my gaming PC, with a newer, fancier DVD drive that just wasn't what the disk wanted to run on. However, as Bogsnot says, sometimes a two-DVD system can create some problems, although one thing that often works with those is somewhat problematic. You can put disk one in the faster, better DVD drive, and disk two in the other, and fairly often the failure to identify the disk will never show up.Bogsnot1 wrote...

(No guarantees, but it's been know to work, as has borrowing an external DVD to install from, and coppying the contends of each didk to a separate folder on the PC's hard drive.

I only have one dvd drive so this isn't the problem. Im using Fredvdp's solution which has worked fabulously ^^ so I can play now. I'll figure out what the problem is, but as I stated before when i'm NOT installing the game it reads the disc just fine, and even leaving it in the drive for 10+ mins doesn't work much either.
