[SOLVED] Diablo 2 wont stop asking for the disks

No matter how I try to install Diablo 2, it always asks for the disk even when the disk in in my drive. I have tried installing it on a Windows XP machine, updating to the latest patch, and then moving it to my computer, and I have tried installing from the disks directly. Both times, it asks for either the Diablo 2 install or the Expansion disk.

What is weird is on my previous Arch build with XFCE4, installing with the disks got far enough to the part where you switch disks but I was having problems unmounting them while still keeping the install going. Transferring from the XP machine worked but the game crashed. This is probably due to my winecfg settings. But I'm not sure what I am doing differently this time on KDE.

You need to get latest patch (1.13c) then copy d2xmusic.mpq and d2xvideo.mpq from the expansion cd to the install folder, and the game will run without cd.

Oh I see. That worked perfectly. Thanks!
