my solution
after a long and bloody battle i've managed to gather enough little tricks around the net to allow me to play my copy of FF8 with all the discs on a single DVD (rather than have it all on my hdd).
if u can get it to install but can't get it to recognise where the 1st disc is i think i have a way that doesn't require ANY patches.
i've used alcohol 120 and daemon tools to mount my bin/cue. files that i made of my originals
so after installing exit and do a search for 'regedit'. open it up and expand 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', then 'SOFTWARE', find the folder for FF8 and then the file within called 'DataDrive'
double click it and in the next window change the 'Value data' to the initial where alcohol or daemon tools will mount the FF8 cd 1 image.
close the windows, mount the image of disc 1 and run the game.
when u need to change disc just save, exit and mount the next cd image in the same drive. simple as that.
after this i haven't had a single problem yet, i've got full sound, graphics and movies.
i hope this can be of help to some of you
