Default Is my DVD volume name stopping program installation?

I burned a program iso to a data DVD then stupidly deleted the iso before
finding that one file on the dvd was corrupt. I managed to get a new file
then transferred the whole data DVD structure to my hard disc then replaced
the bad file with the new one.

After burning a new DVD using DiscJuggler the install program keeps asking
"insert disc 1"

The volume names on the old DVD and new DVD are identical as 061028_0247 so
how can the Windows install program tell that it is a different DVD? Is the
volume name used by install programs anyway?

As a rule, this is called copy protection.

Whether the volume name (volume label) is used depends on how the
install program is written. Disks also have a volume serial number
which can be used to distinguish copies from the original. If you
open a DOS window and view the directory you'll see something like
this:

$ dir e:\p
Volume in drive E is MX120
Volume Serial Number is 5C22-0AB5

Assar,

Can either or both be changed at the time of burning?

Volume label you can specify, but not the serial number. Besides the
serial number is generated by Windows supposedly based on the cd
creation time stamp in one of the fields in the Primary Volume
Descriptor. Nero 5 shows under Label tab the various fields you can
specify/burn, but there is no entry for serial number because it's not
in the ISO 9660 spec. This MagicIso page shows the fields you can
modify:
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-properties.htm

See if there's a small file named something like "Disk1". (The file may
be hidden, so set Windows Explorer to show hidden files.)

Some copy protection methods are explained he

For audio cd there's RID and SCMS:

Assar,

The volume name can be easily changed at any time. Use Windows
Explorer to examine the properties of the "drive", and type in what
you want. I think that there is an 11 character limit, some
characters aren't allowed, and it's safest to stick to upper case.
When I burn CDs and DVDs (using Creator 8 Classic), a popup property
window also allows me to replace the suggested volume label. With
multi-session disks, the volume label can be changed any time you
add another session, but don't do it just to change the label unless
you really need to, since adding those 11 characters will waste
about 13MB of CD disk space each time you do it, possibly a lot more
for DVDs, although I've never checked them.

I can't tell you how you'd change the volume serial number.
Normally the value is randomly assigned when a disk is formatted or
copied. I vaguely recall seeing a DOS utility program that could
assign volume serial numbers to disks, but that was years ago, and I
have no idea what the program was.
