I bought a second-hand DVD of GTA SA from amazon.co.uk and it won't play. After I installed it and tried to play it, I keep getting a message saying "Please remove disc from current CD/DVD drive and insert the original disc in another drive?:." I have no idea what's going on... Can anybody help me?

I don't think we can. If the DVD is defective you can try it in another persons computer or try taking it to a Video Rental store to have it 'cleaned'.
If it installed without problems I don't understand why it wouldn't play.
Examine it for scratches, fingerprints, et cetra.
We presume you didn't try to modify the game after installing it, before playing it.
Does the Disc have a picture of Police officer Tenpenny as the Label?
What Edition does the Box, and Disc say it is?

I keep getting that message when I try to play it.
The DVD isn't too bad, some light scratches etc nothing major.
No, I haven't tried to modify it, I haven't even played it yet.
I bought the special edition one that's like a book. The disc does have Officer Tenenny on it.
Any idea why it won't play?

Try any Lens cleaner machine and see if it responds.

Try cleaning the DVD or reinstall the game in-case something went wrong.

Simple. Click on "start" -> "Run..." and type in "msinfo32" without the quotes.
