Hey guys, i'm getting pretty angry here. The installation of disc 1 went fine, but when the setup asks me to insert disc 2 (and i do that, ofc), it keeps asking me to insert it! As if there is no dvd in my dvd-drive... I double-clicked on My Computer and the disk really is in the drive.

After 3 times of trying, i went back to the store where i bought the game, asked for a new pair of discs and repeated the install process... which turned out the same. Setup simply refuses to see disc 2, and keeps asking me to insert it, sigh.

To prove that my computer can run it:



What do you people suggest I do? Go to the store AGAIN tomorrow or make something like an image and mount it with Daemon to get around this issue?

You can try this solution that someone else posted:

Step 1. uninstal all copies of me2

Step 2. put cd2 in your cd tray

Step 3. Useing deamon tools or a program like that make an image of the cd

Step 4. Mount said image of disk 2

Step 5. put cd 1 in cd tray

Step 6. instal, it shouldnt ask for disk 2 becuase you have it mounted in a virtual drive

Step 7. ???

Step 8. PROFIT!



Also to make sure you've got everything you need your mass effect folder at the end of the instal should total roughly 11.4GB if it's less you are missing something smack yourself and start from step 1.

Or you can try what I had to do: hook a different DVD drive to your machine (if you have on available). My drive absolutely refused to even acknowledge that DVD 2 was in it, so I ended up unhooking my daughter's from her machine, hooking it to mine, and installing it that way.



Out of curiosity, what brand is your DVD drive?

[Naschrakh1983]

Cheers, Eury I'll try the mount option first!



DVD drive's brand is LG

[Eurypterid]

Hope yuo get it working. Interesting on your brand of drive. The one that wouldn't read the disc for me is a Pioneer. The one that DID read it was an LG.

Hehe, well I still have 2 unused and unhooked dvd drives here (both Samsung) in case DTools fails

Right, back here after 2 hours of playing, bloody good fun I had!



Sadly, I had to image BOTH dvd's and do the setup this way (setup just enjoyed to freeze several times at different percentages of installation... setup, if you're reading this: "bastard!"), but I finally got the job done.



Thanks for the tips Eury!

Awesome. Too bad it took so much work to get it going, but at least you're playing now. Enjoy!

I had the same issue. Here is what I did. 1st I changed the default drive to install from my C: drive as it was very low on space. (Under 20GB). I changed it too another drive (H:) that had ample space (over 100GB free).



When it kicked out the 1st disk, I put the 2nd disk in the drive and manually shut it. I let it spin for a while (not clicking ANYTHING). After a minute or so, I then clicked "OK" or "retry". And lo and behold IT WORKED.



This was after going back to Best Buy for a replacement set of disks. I had been trying on my default drive (C:) for over an hour.



Hope that helps.

Huh, I'm having the same issue. I've got an LG drive like the OP. Considering that Eurypterid said he was having problems with the Pioneer, I wonder if if maybe the problem stems from the software that comes bundled with the drives...maybe the Pioneer and the LG that didn't work both had similar software, but the third LG had something totally different.



I'm new to this whole imaging/mounting thing, so could someone in the know give me a more detailed step-by-step, if at all possible? Thanks.

the installation of mass effect 2 has failed **** SOLVED****



I'm terrible at this linking thing so I hope it gets you there.

The problem is a simple one. Disk one is a single layer DVD while disk two is a dual layer DVD. Not all DVD drives can read dual layer DVDs.

Find a computer that can read dual layer DVDs, create an ISO of disk two (use Alcohol 52% or Daemon Tools Lite). Copy that ISO onto 2 spanned single layer DVDs using 7-zip (or any other way of breaking the ISO into two parts). Take those 2 DVDs back to your computer. Recreate the ISO on the harddisk, load it with a virtual drive (like Alcohol or DTools) and use that to install after the 'real' disk one.

Wow, all I had to do was cancel installation and restart my computer. It read disc 2 fine after that.

[Naschrakh1983]

*big ass topic bump*



Well I finished the game as a lvl 20 soldier after 23 hours of play, haha It's the second best game I've ever played. Number 1 is obviously Morrowind, ME2 is a great number 2, I loved the story, the chars, the missions, the romance, the everything!

[Jo4k]

Another solution, which worked fine to me :



I had a LG external DVD reader, and both DVDs of ME2 were invisible (please put a CD in tray blabla)... Until I flashed the firmware of the DVD reader from V1.0 to V1.1.



Now the game is installed, I am happy and the universe will (soon) be safe. I hope.

My collectors edition is having the same problem, it's asking for freaking disc 2, and the only files on disc 2 are the DVD files and the bloody wallpapers!! XD

The thing that weirds me out is that the game installed totally fine on my laptop, and I don't think it ever asked to see disc 2 in installation. But now I have a new more powerful desktop and its giving me all these bloody issues! *RAGE*


EDIT: Seems I was pretty lucky it was perfectly installed on my laptop already... I used winrar to extract the movies.rar and the exe.rar from the disc, and then followed the directory setup from my laptop. Then I looked at what was missing on my desktop and just took those files from my laptop. (Which was everything, including the stuff in My Documents... all I got off the disc was the movies, the exe and some launcher related stuff. *le fail*) Anywho, all working hunky dory now. 


PLEASE DONT **** UP ME3's DISCS EA!
