The BG1 full install is called a "custom" install. You select "custom" and then individually select all items to install. Awkward, I know, but this was in an era when HDD space was critical (for some people). The BG2 full install is, thankfully, called "Full Install".

The reason, I think, that the game asked you for a disk may be the load up copy protection... which can be defeated with a utility like Daemon Tools. But if the game asked you for a disk when transitioning areas, then that sounds like a full install was not done.
