I'm trying to get all the Dungeon Siege stuff installed on my new machine but the DS2 disk 1 refuses to complete. I have an ISO image on a hard drive on another machine that I use to run it there (it has no optical drive) but I can't load the second disk if I start the installation from that, because it wants the other disks loaded on the same drive.

It's been a while since I did such things...
Are you familiar with the DOS 'subst' command? Did you try it out already!?

Assumed drive letter Z: is free, assumed O: is your CD-/DVD-drive on your current PC, and assumed your mounted CD-image is on M: (could be a network folder too), then type:
subst Z: M:\

Start installing it from Z:, and after CD1 is installed, type:
subst Z: /D
subst Z: O:\

You can put then the 2nd/3rd/.. CD into your CD-/DVD-drive O: and the installation should go installing it from Z:

At least I would give it a try.
