It shouldn't need to scan your disk at all. With version 1.4 (which I have loaded on my computer because I still make a few mods for it) it doesn't require to have the disk in the DVD drive at all. So, I don't have it in there to start with. I've also got my original version of the game (v 1.0), it DOES require me to have the original disk in the DVD player to start.

With the 1.4 patch installed on your original 1.2 version of the game, it should be the same as mine. No disk needed to start the game. Try starting the game without the disk in the computer.

Aanker is right......don't start the game using the gu.exe execution file. Start the game with the sh4.exe file instead:





Your new game file structure should look a lot like this one after the 1.4 patch is added. Pay no attention to the 4 JSGME files that are seen in the above image of the "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific" main game folder. The "MODS" folder, the "JonesSoft.txt","JSGME.exe", and the "JSGME.ini" files are from adding JSGME to the game. A couple of new files/folders that were added to your game with the patch are the "Resources" folder, the "gu.exe" file, and the "SI.bin" file (which won't be added to this game folder until your first sucessful start of the game).
