For me, here's the way to make it Easier(TM):
Copy everything but the Launcher/Patcher (whichever you use) and EverQuest2.exe to your DVD.
Go to
www.everquest2.com and click "Reinstall the game," which will reinstall the Patcher and EverQuest2.exe. Once these are installed, load up your DVD and move your files over.
The above is how I do it, which is just easier for me. There's this thread in the Newbie Yard that has everything go to DVDs, which might work for you as well.
Both are people with DD's trying to make reinstalls a tad easier (although I recently stole the boyfriend's discs, since he'll never play).
