Need help with 8.5.3 PE

I was just about to do a fresh install 8.5.3 (and then X1) on a re-formatted drive, but when I opened the 8.5.3 box, DVD #2 (2 of 4) was not in there. (I already had installed 8.5.3 last year on this same machine, but can't find disc #2.)
I treat all my software like gold and i'm usually pretty good with having things organized, but aparently not on this occasion.
What exactly is on disc #2 and do I need that DVD to install 8.5.3?
(I'm guessing my 2 year old has something to do with it, but she's taken the 5th).
 
What oprtions do I have to get this content??
 
Ps.
I currently have 8.5.3 running on XP (dual boot config), but also want to install this (+ X1) on the re-formatted drive with Vista Ultimate on it.
I also emailed Cakewalk requesting a download link or another Disc #2, but I'm not sure if they'll respond anytime soon or evenat all....

    I don't think they're numbered. For Sonar 8 I have 4 disks: 
    Sonar 8 Installation
    Dimension Pro Installation
    Beatscape Installation
    Addditional Content

    Not sure if 8.5.3 is the same because I downloaded the Sonar 8.5 upgrade to Sonar 8.

    Mesh,

    I have Sonar 8.5 Producer.  Here how the 4 disks are labeled:

    • Disk 1: Sonar 8.5 Installation
    • Disk 2: Beatscape 1.0.2 Installation
    • Disk 3: Dimension Pro Installation
    • Disk 4: Additional Content
    Thus I assume that your installation with a missing Disk 2 would have everything except Beatscape.

    Back a couple of years ago, I lost my SPE 6 disks. I called Cakewalk support and they replaced them for a nominal charge (I think it was $15 + $5 shipping). I expect they would do the same thing for you now. I recommend that you call them rather than email ... my experience emailing them has been very haphazard.

    Good luck.

    Regards,
    bbent

    Thanks bbent!!
    This info is exacty what I was looking for. I have all of Beatscape on my samples drive so I don't think I should have any issues accessing them. 

    Should I just burn a DVD (backup) of Beatscape instead of going through the hassel of calling support? 

    Cheers!!

    There were no changes to Beatscape in X1, so you should be able to install it from your X1 discs.
