Go to the Guide.dat file and open with notepad, add the following line
A2_PATH=13.0;C:\Guide8\A2;

After "=" indicates the magnitude you want the a2 to appear, next the
location of the a2 folder.

As for disk2, make sure you put the disk in the drive before starting
Guide, go to "Extra" and select "install to hard drive", select the
item(s) to install.

Hope it helps.
