Need Help IMPORTANT :S (Installing without a DVD Drive)

[Sheen]

Hi, Everyone. I would very much appreciate your suggestions and help on this one.

So, here's my case. i have bought the Retail DVD of Guild Wars 2. I am running on an iMac BootCamp windows 7. Thing is, my DVD Drive is acting up. so anything i put in there just gets ejected. and the only way i could install the game is to probably RIP my DVDs disk 1 and 2 to my laptop and transfer the files to my main computer by using my 16gb Flash Drive.

So, any thoughts on how i could rip the DVD and convert them into an ISO file?

I have tried this method and i seem to be lost.
1)Insert GW2 DVD DISK 1 in my Laptop
2)Open ImgBurn
3)Create an ISO File from the CD
4)Got 3 FILES instead of a .ISO file. (GW2_DVD1.I00, GW2_DVD1I01 and GW2_DVD1.MDS)
5)Transferred the file into my main computer (can't seem to mount it to begin installation)

6)Did the same with the Second Disk and got 2 files instead of just 1.ISO
I got this (GW2_DVD2 that is 6,011,456kb and another GW2_DVD2 that is 9kb in size)

7)I can't seem to transfer the file with the 6gb to my flash drive :s so now im stuck on what to do :s

Please Help me.. i Really want to play so bad :s

Don't install it, simply download the entire game. You'll have to download most of it anyway.

Like most MMOs, Anet isn't selling you a game, they're selling you access to their servers. The game itself can be downloaded free. Once you use the code you get with the game to set up your account, go to your account page http://account.guildwars2.com

Once there, you click on the "download client" link. Just start the download. You won't need the discs at all.

what Vayne said....

also, there's a native Mac client. so no need for your bootcamp. They implemented a Mac client after initial launch

The Mac client works well. I've used it and played GW2 on Win7 via boot camp, and I can vouch that there is no real difference.

Yup, pretty much just reiterating what everyone else said.

The Mac client works great, even though it's still in beta (I believe).
