BF2 Won't start. Keeps asking for Disk2

[GunRunner]

Installed BF2. Running on WinXP P4/2.8ghz/1gig memory/160gig drive.
When starting the game, keep getting the error:

PUT DISK 2 IN DRIVE AND RESTART GAME.

Disk2 is in drive and still won't see it.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Buy the game u warez monkey, or if you're genuine then take it back, strange as i thought it was on DVD like mine is = 1 disc.

there's a cd-version as well.

better inform yourself before blaming others of stealing.

Re: BF2 Won't start. Keeps asking for Disk2

Yes, but the CD version wouldn't ask you for Disc 2 as all the security files are on disc 1. Have you tried turning off anything like Alchohol 120 or Deamon Tools?

I had the same problem with my game.i had to buy a new grapix card although i was running a nvidia 256ddr ram agp X8.tried everything under the sun to no avail.I also know that if you have a controler installed in your USB port can sometimes cause problems with loadig up games.I had that problem with GTA San Andreas

It's not asking for disc 2 it's asking for bf2 disc. Put disc one in.

P.S I have 2 DVD drives and the game will only play from one of em'.you have to check your configuration of your different drives etc and also d/l the latest drivers for your hard ware.

Buying a new graphics card will not fix a problem with BF2 asking for the BF2 disc, so from what the mod said I reckon he's downloaded it.

Thats what I was thinking when I saw this post!

For those of you that gave back positive responses, I thank you. As for you other. 1. Game was bought at at store. 2. Since I work on computer for a living, and tested just about everything I could. Putting the correct cd in is a stupid response. 3. The machine is a strip down computer. Basic Windows XP. No thing else. Strictly Gaming machine.

Re: BF2 Won't start. Keeps asking for Disk2

As BadLizzard said, we've had several posts on this forum with the same problem over the past 2 months. EVERY time the person thought that the game was asking for 'disk 2' but was in fact asking for disk 1.

Can you try inserting disk 1 please and if it doesn't work post a screenshot of the actual error message?

Re: BF2 Won't start. Keeps asking for Disk2

U can also re-install the game... seems to me a bad installation or corrupted files. There r some threads here about how to check game's files integrity.

Re: BF2 Won't start. Keeps asking for Disk2

Then.....
Was the game bought second hand (not new) if so sounds like you were had m8, then the store soled you a cd version as a DVD, or it is a copy of a cd.
Ether way I'd say you.........well...........know the rest.
Take it back to the store.

A second hand CD or DVD is no good to you unless you get a valid game Key as the Key that originally came with the game will now be obsolete, you wont be able to use it!
But I guess you being of such wisdom know that already m8.

Some people genuinely have problems with copy proection. Personally, I HATE copy protection.

I recommend you use Daemon Tools and mount an image or mini-image.
