Ghostmaster - Error Message

I had a phone call from Andy Stenhouse who was having problems
getting Ghostmaster to run. He'd downloaded and played the demo
and enjoyed it, but when he tried to run the full game it kept
asking for the correct CD. I said I'd had a similar problem with
MM6 but he pointed out that Ghostmaster only actually comes on 1
CD!

From what I read in Google Groups, the most likely reason for this
problem is the high level of copy protection on Ghostmaster's CD.
I also had a look at the official site and found this:

Solution 1:

Ensure that you have the most up to date drivers and firmware for
your CDrom / DVD or CDRW drive.

Microsoft use default drivers within their Windows operating
system so it would be advisable to check and update with the
latest drivers from the manufacturers website. Certain CD drive
manufacturers will have Win Xp certified drivers and Firmware.

Safedisc Copy protection includes information that knows about BAD
software, Debuggers etc, so it's worth noting that you may need to
uninstall, or make sure that these are not loaded.  Examples of
these are CloneCD, Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% plus any compilers
(if applicable).

Another thing to consider is a lot of updates that you may
download can also contribute to the please insert CD message, some
3rd party drivers or system drivers may have the Debug options
still enabled.

We have found in the past that any of the following can cause this
type of issue to occur, Enhanced mouse drivers, enhanced Graphics
tools, Beta versions of Sound card drivers... usually disabling
these or rolling back to earlier versions have solved the problem.
