Thanks for replying & your help, you bring some good points.
I am a member at Steam & I will ask them to & see what will happen, I will also ask them about the disk & serial I used & see if they can give any ideas of best thing to do.

@DABhand
Thankyou for reply to.
Tho I just got them & it works Perfectly for me so far, I have not come accross that problem yet.

But in future you could always download steam directly, then install the game.
Good point but it still leaves me with a DVD disc that cost me $89 Australian that doesn't work unless I use my other CD of Half-Life 2 & install Steam that way.
Just think & imagine if I was guy who just bought this game & had no other Steam Games I wouldn't of been able to install it, so I was luckly.

DABhand could tell me how big the Steam folder is on the DVD you have as I might be able to see if files are missing or not.
My DVD has the following:
Opening & Selecting all files & Folders my size is
Size: 7.16 GB (7,688,388,996 bytes)
Size on disc: 7.16 GB (7,688,476,672 bytes)
93 files & 10 folders

Right Mouse Clicking on the Steam Folder only my Size is:
Size: 10.3 MB (10,863,882 bytes)
Size on disc: 10.3 MB (10,881,024 bytes)
14 files 7 folders

Located here
DVD Drive:\steam\English
I have only 2 files which are called
Steam.inf & SteamInstall.msi
Steam.ini Size = 251 bytes (251 bytes) & Size on disc 2.00 KB (2,048 bytes)
SteamInstall.msi Size = 1.47 MB (1,549,312 bytes) & Size on disc 1.47 MB (1,550,336 bytes)

The Steam Installer Related files on my Half-Life 2 CD is just over 6MB so I think I might have missing Steam files on my Lost Planet DVD

Thanks in Advance if you could compare for me.
