The initial way you did it was most likely correct. The problem is with the game's exe. Have you patched to v1.1? If so, did you use the correct v1.1 patch? Not using the correct patch or using v1.0 will case exactly the problem you describe.

I have the exact same same problem. I have the DVD version as well, so I just install the game, backup the .exe, install 1.1 + 1.3 patch and then I replace the .exe. If I don't do this, my game can't start because the game is asking for a correct disk...

There is at least one official v1.1 exe without the CD/DVD check. It's 4.4MB if you can find it. However, you can't play the game after installing the v1.1 patch, then you're installing the wrong v1.1 patch.

No, that's what I've already tried. :(
EDIT:
I just had an idea; Since the problem is that the .exe doesn't read the Cd-Key, wouldn't a legal option be to hex-edit the cd-key into the exe? It would require a new edit per dvd, but that would also make sure that it can't be used as an illegal hack. ?

No. It's never legal to modify the executable.
