You'll need to buy a new CD set or try this out - Use Origin BF1942 to play on CD version servers: How-to
Re: Lost second install CD for PC :(
There aren't any significant down-sides to just using the Origin version at this point. You do have to install Origin of course, and it's a bit more steps to get Punkbuster installed because it doesn't come as part of the Origin Battlefield 1942.
Also, even with the Origin version you must still have a CD-based key to play on the CD-based server, but you already have that aspect covered by still having your old CD key. (I assume, or did you also lose the case with the key printed on it?) Specialist's steps cover how you need to plug that old CD-key into the Origin-installed Battlefield 1942.
Buying another copy is sure to probably be the quickest and least-hassle way to get another physical CD if you really prefer that, and it's only going to be something like $10+shipping.
