Hello Noooby and welcome to Lockergnome!

3. Game displays error message when starting such as:

"Cannot locate the DVD-ROM"
"Please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart application"
"Cannot locate the CD-ROM"
"Please insert correct CD' error message"

This can be caused by a few things, but first things to try would be to make sure your logged in as an administrator, make sure that compatibility mode is disabled, close all unnecessary background tasks, empty your temp file folders and install the latest patch which is available from EA's website or various gaming related sites around the internet.

Check this EA support article for details on background tasks.

If the game still doesn't work try putting the CD/DVD into another drive if you have one, disable or uninstall CD/DVD emulation software such as Alcohol 120%, Daemon Tools, Clone CD etc.

I've also had some success with changing the transfer mode of the drive to PIO only, this can be done through Device Manager and updating the firmware of the drive which is available from the manufacturers website.
