I when installing and removed first disk of install,
then inserted second, it told me that it was the wrong
disk. I then tried to use the second cr rom which the the
cd burner. I used my computer to browse to it. That
didn't work either, but I noticed that the my other drive
( the original install drive ) still said it contained
Sims when in fact it was empty and the door was closed.
