I install the whole game with the optional game date.  When it ask for disc 1 where disc is already in one of the drives, it keeps saying wrong disc. Wtf ? Compatibility settings are a joke.
i have 2 cd drives and 2 virtual drives
2 harddrives. 1 internal and 1 external

Mod Edit: Moved to Game-Tweaking
 
You have to run the FF8 disc from the drive you installed the game.

Either that, or you can modify the registry to point it to your favoured drive.
 
Ok I already did the registry thing and it still doesn't work
 
Hmm, that's odd. It worked for me at least.
Are you mounting the FF8 CD images through your virtual drive (Made from CDs) or are you running it directly off a CD/DVD drive?

If you're running directly off a CD/DVD drive I think your disc could be the problem. But that's my guess, it could be something else.
 
Actually, this was a problem I experienced awhile ago.. I never solved it because I only installed it on a whim and didn't feel like troubleshooting it..

I've seen this come up though here, and IIRC the solution was farily simple, I just can't recall what it was..

Unfortunately a search didn't help me either.. It could very well be a corrupted disc.. (I'm really hoping that's not the case because mine probably suffers from the same thing)

I'd try to re-install the game again, but I really hope someone remembers what the solution was for this issue.. (I may actually be remembering something closely related to this being resolved as well.. It's been a long time)
