CD-Key Problem While Want to install

So yesterday I got Mass Effect 3 for pc in Gamestop, I got home and put my installation disk number 1 into my dvd-rom, all works great I put in my cd-key for the game and its in my library but when I want to install it through cd it asks me for the cd-key still and when i put it in it says the code has been already used. Tried restarting my pc etc but nothing works. Any help?

    @thesauronex Hey, pop the disc in then close down the program that opens up to install the game. 


    Then start up Origin and log in using the same details as before. Choose to "Download" ME3. It should detect the disc and try streaming the install data from there, even swapping discs when requested. 


    Sorry for the confusion and I hope this helps.

    I've read your response for it and I tried it, thank you for the help but sadly I tried it and it doesn't work. I sat in front of the whole process, it took my whole internet speed but thought to myself that it was maybe an accident or something but during it, it took the same time if I was downloading it. Also it has never asked me for the second disc either. I have really slow internet and downloading these things take forever

    - Close Origin

    - Disable your internet connection complacently.

    - Put the disk into the drive.

    - Start Origin.

    - Go to your Game Library and click on "Download"

    Now Origin should recognize the disk and start to install the game from there.
