after installing fifa 2003 from a .bin file it asks "please insert fifa cd2, click ok and restart application"

[LocutusofBorg]

please make sure you installed game from Daemon-Drive, not from real one!

BTW: What kind of problems occured? Game will not start? Any better description? Errors? Messages?

And of course use latest versions of both, alcohol and daemon tools

i dumped both disk one and disk 2 images using alcohol set on safedisk 2/3, mounted them using a daemon virtual drive, installed from there.

the kind of problems that occur is just that it tells me it needs the correct cd rom, which would be disk two.

[LocutusofBorg]

you should mount always to the same drive!

That means, when installing the game, use (just as an example, your drive in
this example is drive g drive g: and mount first disc, install and if installation
requires disc 2, mount disc 2. When you want to play, insert disc 2 in your
first virtual drive (here: drive g: )

Don't use 2 different drives to install (even not if both drives are virtual ones)

To switch back so you're able to unmount/mount during install, press
ALT-TAB and you should be back on desktop, mount disc 2 and click in the
taskbar again on installer (in case game switches to own GUI during installation)

yeah, that's what i did, i used the same drive for both cd's, and just switched back and forth...

one thing that i've found mentioned on other sites is something about the image being a 1:1 copy... what exactly does that mean, how do i check, and is it necessary to have a 1:1?

[LocutusofBorg]

As you created the image with Alcohol 120% and used the right settings
as suggested, it should flawlessly work. Did read-errors occur when you
dumped the disc to hdd? And if yes, in which area those errors occur?

What other copy-tools you've installed? Maybe CloneCD (and it's virtual
drive?) Some of these tools are blacklisted already! Deinstall them and try
again

[meatball]

all i have for copying cd's is nero, alchohol, and daemon... i had disc-juggler, but i uninstalled that a week or so ago.

[meatball]

oh, and if any errors occured, i don't know about it.
