Umm... no you don't. I don't know what's wrong with your computer, but I have two CD drives and I installed the game on only one CD drive.

Try making an image of the cd and loading it with Deamon Tools or something. It could work. Or not.

but if the disc is damaged, he wouldn't be able to make an image, maybe he can, but it's not probably. Well, try.

Return it to place of purchase and ask for an exchange. I had to do this with Doom 3 [Disc 3] and FarCry [Disc 2]. Sometimes CD's just come packaged screwed up.

well all of your facts or telling are only theories(some of them are true).ive studied computer programming and computer assembly.the 3d disk is either corrupt,missing some files,scratched or dirty.bec. if your cd-rom drive is dead or not working then how did you install disk 1 and disk 2? and i have only one cd-rom drive which has cd-w,cd-rw,dvd-rom,dvd-w,dvdrw.i only have one and it works you dont need 2 drives(you only need them if you hav low config. of computer).If they allow me to attach Disk 3 on this forum then i will but i will be banned for attaching the Disk 3 so i cant attach it.
here's my pc config.
3.4 ghz intel pentium 4 CPU
512 mb of ddr AGP(video card)
1024 of RAM
180 GB of Hardisk(i have one har disk only)
10mb of Broadband.
20 inch LCD monitor.
Wireless optical mouse and keyboard.
A built in sound card Motherboard.
I created my own pc, so i know more about computers and a little about games.
Ataraxia you hav doom3 me too also the expansion its the coolest 1st person game.
About the 3rd disk like they say return as soon as possible before the warranty or gurantee is finished~ i made my post long so you guys would stop telling me to Edit.
its only 63% bec. maybe my answers(above) are right or its having difficulty reading the disk bec. its a large game that occupies your com.
yes it will install when you insert disk 1 it will say ex: 3gb for all the disks.
say yes. then it will install.that means it has already calculated how much memory is used to install all 4 disks or 3 disks before you insert the 2nd disk.im trying to say when it calculates how much is used and remaining before the 2nd disk or the process is started it already know how much is needed to intall all the disks. ok ~ESEY~

It wouldn't stop at 63% because there isn't enough space; it calculates the amount of space required before installation and if there isn't enough space it won't install.
