Hello,
The problem I have is that I am on dialup and I don't feel like downloading everything again in the unfortunate event that I have to format my hard drive.
The relevant files for this game might fit nicely in a DVD-R, or maybe in two -- I see the Valve folder is over 5 GB's! I need to know two things. If I back up the files, and I have to format my hard drive, would I have to reinstall Half Life 2 altogether, from the 5 CD's? The other thing is, considering how strict Steam is with people messing with HL2, are these enough grounds to get my account banned?
