Title: FS2 Installation error --- help
Post by: Stealth on February 25, 2004, 07:26:34 pm: (http://www.swooh.com/lorenzo/fs2error.JPG)

Maeglamor sent me the FS2 CD1 ISO, because my FS2 CD1 doesn't work... anyway, so i burnt it to a CD, and it seems to be working good as i'm installing, but as soon as it gets to the part where it asks for Disk 2, it brings up the error shown above. i can't understand why. i'm able to install FS2 just the "basic install"(with no command briefings, music, animations, etc... in other words only if it needs FS2 CD1 it works good, but as soon as it asks for the SECOND CD, it doesn't :( )

someone help me out please
