The DVD-ROM cannot be located

This may happen if the driver's letter is set to either A or B, the SafeDisc DRM will not recognize the disk being inserted although it'll install just fine.
Change your DVD drive letter to something other than A or B[citation needed]
  1. Push ⊞ Win+R and type diskmgmt.msc
  2. Wait for the list to load, find the respective DVD-ROM at the end of the list.
  3. Right Click on it and pick Change Drive Letter and Paths....
  4. Click Change..., then assign a new letter other than A or B and accept the warning.

    Tested with a Xbox One controller (model 1708). Both can be active, but only one input can be entered at once. Going back to KBM input from the controller input requires going back to the Controls settings and switching to the KBM mode.
