Viewing and installing LDS discs

[Tracey]

I have the LDS 1881 census for Great Britain.
Have installed the viewer as instructed on the first bit

Second bit Instructions say
When installing the 1881 British Census, you must install both the National Index and disc 1 of any region.

There are 8 discs that have National Index written on them.
Which National Index do i install ?

I am obviously misreading this can someone explain it to me ?
The users manual it seems is only understandable if you know what your doing.

Please help

Windows XP in case your going to ask

Hi Tracey
If you want to look at the Scotland discs you need to put in disc 1 for Scotland (which is the Highland Counties disc) and "install" that first. As far as I'm aware, you don't need to install the "National Index" but if you wanted to you would need to "install" Disk 1 (i.e. disc 1 A-B) of the National Index discs before you could use any of the index disks.

It says in the instructions on my disc folder:
"You may insert Disc 1 from any census region or from the National Index" but maybe mine is older and things have changed.

Clear as mud
