Insert disk 1 during Sims 3 installation

So, I feel dumb for asking this, but how do you get around the "insert disc 1" problem that pops up when you're trying to install the Sims 3? I'm NOT using the Complete Collection Sims 3 file, just the regular base game one. 

When it asks me to browse for disc 1, I read that you only need to mount it again, but I'm just not really sure how to do this. I've done it correctly before, but I swear my memory has just failed me here. Also, I'm using Daemon Tools Lite.

Hate to be a bother, but if anyone could help I'd appreciate it!

The process shouldn't be too difficult to do.   Once you mount the second disk image (again, it doesn't matter where), you should click on "Continue" or "OK" in the installer program - and the installation should resume.

So, when I browse to find it, I click on it in My Computer, and the path way remains empty. Like it doesn't insert the disc there...? It will just remain Path: I:/..... if that makes sense?

Also, would it just be easier for me to download and install the Complete Collection? I'm not sure if I'll have a ton of memory for it, but it doesn't have the two disc problem, right? I think I read that on the forum somewhere.
