The game Installs fine. No Problems. When I start to play tho, it keeps on asking for Disc 1. I insert it and it doesn't read it or something. Now... FF7 works. So why doesn't FF8?! Please help if you can. Thank you very much. ^__^;

Excelent. I had the same problem and tried this fix, and it works just fine now. At least the problem on ff8 is easy to fix. Ff7 needed a whole fan-made patch to even begin to work on XP.
