MacDrive And Steam (Half-Life)

[DigitalAce7]

Hi everyone,
I just got a new MBP and I immediately installed boot camp. I downloaded steam from steampowered.com and fired it up. I installed it on the mac partition because I only allowed 5GB for boot camp. I used MacDrive and it installed correctly. I downloaded half-life and every time I try to run any of the games on steam it says they are unavailable. The exact error is

This game is currently unavailable.
Please try again at another time.

I've never been able to run any of the games from the mac partition. I just tried copying the steam install to my main windows partition and it runs fine. So somehow macdrive isn't allowing something? Does anyone know if there is a work around. Thanks,

This may be me but I dont think this will work because windows doesnt work like mac. If you have an app in a folder, it just doesnt open, it needs files in other directories to make it launch and function.


Yeah. Windows sucks like that

Try installing steam on the windows partition and see if it works. If it does then it could be that steam doesn't like being installed on the MAC partition even using MacDrive.

I think you have to install it on the XP partition.
