Installation Issue (Upgrade)

Question

I'm currently trying to install the audio content for STP - whenever it asks for audio content disc 1 (after the main install disc) and I insert the disc, it spins up and then rejects the disc (still asking for the same disc).
I checked to see if the disc was damaged but there are no signs of scratches...
I never installed this content for FCS2 - and I am trying to just use the audio content discs that came with the update (is that correct or do I need to use the ones from FCS2?)
Also - I am trying to install them to an external drive.

Try this as a possible workaround:
With that disc mounted on the desktop, open Disk Utility and create a disc image of that disc. No encryption, no compression, read only.
If DU does that successfully (double-click on the resultant dmg and let it run verification), then do the same thing for all the install discs. Create a folder and place all of the disc images into that folder. This whole process will take you several hours, but it could mean you don't have to wait for AppleCare to send you a replacement disc.
Now double-click each dmg to mount them all on the desktop. Then double-click on the Final Cut Studio install package and the installation of the entire Studio will proceed relatively quickly once you enter the SN and your personal information.
But if the dmg for the problem disc won't pass verification, then you must call AppleCare for a replacement.
