Might be your DVD drive. Do you have another drive to install to check?

this might help?
from the technical link in my sig:

Problem - CD/DVD drive not recognising disc:

Cause - Mostly likely Nforce4
Fix - nforce IDE SW Driver issue, either clean Hard-Drive of nforce drivers, install new and select 'No' when prompted to install the IDE SW Driver or if you go into your device manager and click on IDE ATA/ATAPI CONTROLLER, most likely under here anyone with an NFORCE 1, 2, 3, 4 board will have Nvidia Nforce* ATA CONTROLLER - pick update driver and pick NO and pick Install from List then DON'T SEARCH and in the list you should see all the Nvidia items and STANDARD DUAL CHANNEL PCI IDE CONTROLLER. Choose STANDARD DUAL CHANNEL PCI IDE CONTROLLER and you should be good to go.

If it does not show in the Window then you can UNCHECK Show Compatible and then you'll see the Standard on the left choose this and that's it

hm, is your drive a 'dvd' drive? I'm pretty sure the complete collection is a dvd, and you'll need a dvd drive, not a cd-rom drive.

put the cd in the drive then goto my computer, right click & expand the drive with the bf2 cd in, select explore, then double click setup (it will be a blue icon)

I think he found the problem Tonic.... :wall:

Sometimes when i get those errors it is because the game/app is a cracked one etc etc, but in his case he only has a cd drive & trying to use a dvd game lol
