The ONLY Half-Life 2 Thread. Do Not Create New Threads

I loaned a DVD drive from one of my buddies, installed my new bought game, and installed the hijack crack as I had to return the DVD drive the same day. The crack worked perfectly with both HL2 & CSS. Later that day, I try to run HL2 again, but suddenly I got this "No disc inserted" message. I'm thinking "wtf?!, it worked earlier without a disc?" - I then tryed to restart my computer etc., and running HL2 again, but I still got "No disc inserted" message. I then tryed to run HL2: Source, which I hadn't ran before. Boom, it suddenly worked again. Not only HL2S worked, but HL2 & CSS worked again. Later that day again, I get the same "No disc inserted" message. So I try to do everthing I did last time, but I still got it. That day I gave up and went to bed.

So today is a new day, and a new try... I've spended the last two hours trying to get my legal copy of HL2 working again, but still I get this freaking "No disc inserted" message! I have tryed everthing listed in this topic, done everything I did myself the last time.....

All in all, I've tryed everthing, but still I get this "No disc inserted" message. Can anybody help me?? I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 - and for a notice, all hl2.exe files is 1.91 MB..
