Help!! FF8 + XP = No Work!

Ok. . . I've went around and well, nobody seems to be able to help me. So now I've come here. My Problem is Win XP and FF8. The game Installs fine. No Problems. When I start to play tho, it keeps on asking for Disc 1.

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.
