I had some system issues so I had to roll back to an old image of my drive prior to getting the HL2 preload.

Will Steam prompt me to load the first preload? The only news that popped up after I reinstalled it was news that I could buy CZ for 29.95.. thats it.

Or will I have to wait for the second preload?
 
Forget it. I just had to right-click and select "Start Preload".
 
I had something like this too. I already had preload 1, 2 and 3 on my hd, but I had to format it because of spyware, spybot and ad-aware couldn't remove it so this was the only option. So I back-upped everything important, but I forgot the peload :(. But in a few hours it was on 100% again :smoking:
 
I have a backup harddrive where I keep my *.gcf. So whenever I've done a format c: I just install steam, exit steam, copy all the backup gcf's and place them in the steam/steamapps folder. Everything is back to the way it was before the format when you restart steam.

Just a piece of friendly advice for everyone that haven't done this already.
 
Yes, I know I could have done that, but I didn't think of it before I did the format
