I have tried installing 4 or 5 different winderz games under parallels. The install goes just fine, it goes through 2-3-4 disks and installs the program. The problem is when i go to run the game it keeps telling me to put disk #1 in the drive...it's there...anyone know why?

Do you experience this same problem when running boot camp?

No, i don't have boot camp...Not really interested in dual booting, that is why i got paralles so i could use both at the same time on one machine. I figure if i can only run one at a time then i will just boot the Mac in front of me and then boot the pc on my left...

If it doesn't do it in Boot Camp then it might be a copy protection scheme in the software. It might direct access to the hardware.
