It's not DRM, as there are no install limits for ME2. Got to be something else. Hrre are a few things to try:
1) If you have DVD43 installed on your system, disable it. I've read it can interfere with reading the discs. If you don't know what DVD43 is, then you don't have it.
2) If you have access to a different DVD drive, try hooking it up to your machine and see if it will read the disc. This is what I had to do when it failed to read disc 2 on my machine.
3) If your drive will read the disc, but won't install, you can try mounting an image and installing from that. Instructions from another forum member:
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.
4) You can try DLing EA Download Manager and using your CD key to register the game on that. Then DL the digital version.
5) Try updating your DVD drive's firmware.
6) If none of that works, you can try returning the game to your retailer and exchanging for a new copy. Some people have reported exchanging has worked for them.
Good luck, and post back if any of this works for you.
