Durign the setup you should see the option to play online or see a full install to the drive. Since it seems the full install won't work look for the other installation option to see if the new release has that as well. Hopefully it will turn out to be just one small change needed and you didn't get stuck with a bad disk.

Sometimes you can manually browse the folders on a software disk to work around an installation problem seen with the auto installer. At least you have it going on by the looks of things. Let me know if the Orange Box still sees the HL1 included. I was thinking about grabbing a copy. But let's see how things there.

Ah steam the second most anoying program I know. Only second to linux. Cant ever get the boot loader to work!

Back on topic. It should see the HL1 because its just a registry value where steam is and the last account logged in isn't it? I have steam installed on my G drive and windows on C and I have had no problems so far. But then again if theres a glitch here then there is every chance that theres a glitch there to.

When you buy a new disk with HL2 on it you have to set up a new account since each has their own product id number. When buying EP1 on a separate disk that needed a bew account setup for it. But if you wait so many months after the initial release it's an option then seen in the My Games section to download to the existing account. That will most likely be seen with EP2 and later EP3 whenever that comes out and has been around for several months.
