I hope this has been addressed somewhere:
I had DA:O installed and had to uninstall it to reinstall windows. Now I get almost to the end of the installation and I get the message "installation failed, missing file or no disk in drive. Does anyone have a solution for this?
"installation failed"

If you have a damaged disk, you can enter your registration code into the EA Download manager now known as Origins and download the digital version. Some disk drives have difficulty reading the DAO disks.

No I don't have a damaged disc, but I do have the EA Origins Download manager, it's just that I''ve heard that downloading from EA takes forever. Thanks for answering!

EA uses some proprietary disk production procedures that are probably part of more protection against copying, just not admitted to. Whatever they are doing, it will conflict with some DVD drives, particularly burners. My disks all have been totally pristine, no dirt, smudges, fingerprints, nothing, but I still got Data Error messages using my best PCs with my best DVD burners included.
Some folks find it easy to copy to folders on their hard drives and then install from there, some folks know someone with an external DVD drive that they can borrow, others can do as I have had to do. I used the elderly Sony DVD drive in the old PC I have here to run the old printers that need an LPT port, and ran the install across my LAN.

What kind of folder on the hard drive could the game be copied to? I actually have 2 hard drives on my pc, which is partitioned, and one partition has 150gb unused, but I don't know what kind of folder to copy to. If you have a suggestion I would welcome it!

You just tell Windows Explorer you want to make a new one anywhere you want it to be and name it whatever you want to name it, same as any general use folder you make for any other use. Surely you don't need more of a tutorial than that much.
