Are there any disk images mounted? This one could be a bugger.

Open in terminal
type in hdiutil eject in the window
then drag the stubborn disk from the finder to complete the path name, then press enter.

restart, normally does the trick. i think if you hold down a key at the chime it ejects the disk (might b the letter e for eject).

Use Toast to make a disk image of both install disks, then mount both images, and try to install the game again.
