It could be easier for some to buy PS2 DVD off eBay and start playing in PCSX2. Sadly your original DVD is not everything you'll need to make PCSX2 work. You'll also need the BIOS dumped from your PS2. PS2 BIOS is copyrighted by Sony so getting it from anywhere but your own PS2 is '''illegal''' action like downloading PS2 DVDs from the Internet. So ultimately you'll have to have PS2 to dump your BIOS from it before you will start playing your PS2 DVDs on the PC. One region version of BIOS doesn't make the game from another region unplayable so if you have PAL BIOS on your PS2 you'll be able to play NTSC games and vice versa.
The dumping of BIOS can be quite complicated process and you may even consider to ask for help from your more experienced friends or use the forums.
You may get some instructions [http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-2298.html#Bios here] and start dumping buy downloading the tool from [http://ps2dev.org/ps2/Tools/Misc_tools/Bios_dump_util this place] or use the official guide [http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-2329.html here].
