I hate my computer.

So, it turns out that the failure wasn't due to the HL2 disc, after all. I swapped it for another copy at Revolution CD, and then succesfully installed it on Jono's PC. Came home, tried, failed.

Fucking hell.

So it looks like I'm going to be calling in that three year on-site warranty, after all.

Fucking second-rate hardware x_X
