[big question]can't register my own HL2 on steam W/O Original Disk

I asked my friend in US buy me an HL2, reason is it costs less than bought it in Taiwan.

He emailed me the CD-Key, i gave him the disk.

But there is a huge problem comin'.....Steam ask me to insert my HL2 disk in my disk drive (display as below), I don't have it, but I bought it!



Could I just register my HL2 CD-Key without an original retailed HL2 disk?

Is Mini-Image work? Steam didn't tell me that I have to use my disk to register my Key, or I just buy it in Taiwan....

With the key you can create an account on steam and download the game. But if you have a 56 k modem, you shouldn't.

u dont get it... the disk is required for the files on the disk not as a disk check, so mini image is no use, you can either make an account on steam with ur legit cdkey and download HL2 from steam, or get your disk.
