You should be able to install Red Alert 2 on Windows XP just fine. It sounds to me like this is some kind of cd-drive problem. The RA2 setup tries to self-detect the cd, cannot find it and gives you the error.

You said you tried mounting an ISO file on a virtual drive, what program did you use to create that ISO? I personally use CloneCD for reading game cd's to my hard drive and use daemon tools to mount it. Especially older games like RA2 should work fine like that.

Anyway, about the self-detect issue, the cd-drive(s) on your new pc are probably not installed properly, or atleast in a way so that the RA2 self-detect doesn't work. Try reinstalling the drivers for it and see if that helps
