:?: My system has two DVD drives, do I still need to swap DVD's during the configuration?
:!: No. Just put one of the Myst IV DVD's into each drive. The ME Toolkit will find them both automatically and installs the language packs without a change of DVD's.

:?: Why does the second Myst IV DVD show reading problems during the install of additional language packs?
:!: The second DVD of Myst IV is copy protected by C-Dilla Safedisc 3.2. This protection leads to reading problems by a lot of DVD drives, what means you will notice a lower reading speed or many starts and stops of drive spin. As the single language packs are stored in different parts of the DVD this copy protection affects the install of each language pack in a different way. If you should suffer a complete fail of the copy of a language pack, try to clean the disk because this copy protection leads to non correctable read errors on slightly soiled disks.
