this is not actually be a problem it's just really annoying( which would make it a problem thou, i guess. uhm.)
the game starts up just fine, with intro movies etc. but whenever i reach the screen when you choose between SoW and ToB, and i choose SoW, the game says i need disc 2! so even tough im currently at a map that needs disc 3 i'll have to switch to disc 2 only to switch back again when entering a door or whatever. what's that about? is the disc requiered just for the freaking load screen?! or is something terrible wrong here...?
thanks

Did you do a full install? If you did then you won't have to change discs when you move areas. For one, multi-disc games will only recognise one of the discs (disc 2 in this case) as an 'original' disc, to prevent four people full-installing the game onto their PCs and then each using one of the four discs to start up the game.

Backup your saves and reinstall, doing a full install. You can make an ISO from your ToB disk (it asks you for it in order to play) and mount it using DaemonTools.
My disk is in pretty bad shape from putting it in and taking it out all the time ~~ until I figured the ISO mounting trick

Try google for some ISO tips.
I think there's a trial version of Alcohol 120% (it's a program that lets you make ISO images from CDs). Alternatively, you might have Nero which also can write ISOs.
Daemon Tools is very intuitive; just right click on the tray icon, select number of drives you want and then mount the ISO you created earlier. It will fool Windows (and BG2) into thinking your ISO image is an actual CD in a drive.
