How can I reinstall the games? I don't have the discs anymore.

I need to re-install proph, factions, and nightfall. The only disc I have left is for Eye Of The North. How can I go about doing this? Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.

EOTN is more then enough...
Any of the disks are really just gonna put on the base client...after that no matterwhat your gonna have a ton of updates and files to load...sooo yeah I assume the EOTN disk should be enough...

You can also use the client installer at http://guildwars.com/support/downloadclient/default.php [downloadable client link near the bottom]. Either way, you will have a lot to download but using the EotN disc may save you from downloading a few files.
If you want to download the entire client with files from all the campaigns, you should use the -image flag when you run the client. Otherwise, it'll load on demand and each new zone you visit may take a while.

as far as i recall all versions have the same install program - i think someone off anet ages ago stated it as serial keys are the part which opens locked areas - eg prophs serial key will open only the prophs area for prophs campaign.
theres 2 ways of re-installing well 3 ,
1. if u still have the old gw files just go into gw folder and delete all files except gw.exe then run gw.exe - some would run gw with the -image command to get all the files rather than constant downloading and long zone loading. use search for the -image section on guru.
2. download the client from guildwars.com and run.
3. find any gw cd/dvd you have - doesnt matter if its eotn/prophs etc and run the installer from there.
*note* some players after installation will run the -image command on 2 & 3.
also you can move your gw folder with all files in it ( done with xp) then when you run gw again it asks for the new path - it may do this a few times till it sets in properly

All the disks have the entire game so just install from the eye disk and your away.
As long as you remember a few things.
Your email address and password and the name of one character, otherwise you will have to contact support, which could take a while depending on how much information you can give them.
or as Spiritz said if you have the old game files backed up somwhere you can recreate the game with those.
The older the files you use the more the game will have to update once installed.
Look up the -image command for forcing gw to update.

Use the -image command overnight, remove it when it's done, you're in business.
