Cannot install HL2

Okay here's the situation.
I first bought HL2 when it first came out, I managed to play it for many years without too much trouble.
I have now just decided to start playing it again, but there's one problem.
You see when I first installed HL2 I installed it to my F drive. Since then, the HDD that had the F drive partitioned on it broke down and I lost 3 of my drives. So now my "Add/Remove Programs" list says that both HL2 and Steam are installed on my F drive, but my F drive no longer exists.
I put HL2's disc into my disc-drive and as the window popped up, I was expecting the first option to be "Install Half-Life 2". Instead, it was "Play Half-Life 2". But if I choose this I get "Windows cannot find "F:\games\valve\steam\steam.exe". I then tried to uninstall HL2 but got "Error 1327. Invalid Drive: F:\"

So I want to play HL2 but I cannot uninstall it so I can install it again, if that makes any sense.

Hopefully someone here can help me out, I'd be so greatful as I have been working at Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Downloads - FileFront.com for a few years now!




EDIT: Nevermind, I looked around the web and I just had to change the letter of the disc drive to the same drive that the game was installed on (F).
Thanks for letting me ask for help here anyway!

Go to the steam website and download the exe for steam and install that on your computer. Then, you should be able to download HL2.
