    @davehugebf3, 

    I have figured out how to do this. Please follow the instructions below:

    1. Load Origin.

    2. Hover over the Battlefield 3 picture in your Games List and select the, "i" button. 

    3. Right Click the download status and select, "Cancel or Uninstall button."

    The above will stop the download and clear the current information downloaded. 

    4. Minimize the Origin Client.

    5. Insert the Battlefield 3 disc and exit out of the Autorun screen.

    6. Go to, My Computer > Right click your DVD drive where the Battlefield 3 disc is located.

    7. Select, "Open or Explore."

    This is going to get you into the Battlefield 3 disc to view the installation files.

    8. Double click on Setup.exe.

    9. If Origin install pops up, exit out of that. 

    10. Select your language for the Battlefield 3 Installation. 

    11. Install from the disc.

    Origin should pop up and show that it is installing from the disc. In previous versions of the Origin Client, it would say that it is "Downloading" even though it was installing from the disc but the latest version of the Origin Client should say, "Installing."

    Hope this helps.
