You press continue or retry, IIRC. It will check the next drive after. After you've done that once, it should check that drive first from now on.

I just added a new Hard disk on to the PC and it changed the drive letters for all the hdd & cd-rom. Previously the CD-ROM was E: and now its F:.

Whenever I start the game it asks me to put the Disc in the drive except its already there...just its name has changed.

How do I tell the game to look at a different drive? I checked the game folder but didn't find a config file. I even searched the system registry but the reg only contains location where the game is installed and not the CD drive.

I've got a slightly different situation - everytime I boot into Windows the SF Install program starts up. The game is currently installed, although from a different CD Drive. Any ideas on how to stop the install program from starting every time?

Disable autorun. Kind of silly to have a CD check for a program that starts the install every time the disc is inserted, though.

Thats what I thought of doing, but I can't find where to turn the Auto-run off.

Depends on what OS you're using, but most of the time you should be able to go my computer-right click on the drive-properties, and find it there.

Win2K, but can't seem to find where to turn it off.

To disable autoplay on Win2k & WinXP I use TweakUI. Just search tweak ui & your windows Version (i.e Win2k or WinXP) in google.

TweakUI has a setting to disable autoplay.

Its easy on Win98 but I found it easier to change the settings using tweakui for Win2k/XP.
