Resuming disk install on Steam??

    So I bit the bullet and installed Win 10 today and am just at the point of getting Steam games back on.

    Installing Shadow of Mordor and it fell over at the point of looking for the 4th disk. My dvd drive forgot it existed apparently. It's back now and the game is half installed in steam but the only option I have is to complete the install via download, which isn't an option for me on my connection tbh.

    Is there a way to restart the install at the point of disk 4, or dump the files off the remaining disks into a folder in steam??


    **Edit**

    Ok so it seems the Steam installer is fairly smart in that if you start from the beginning with disk 1, it will verify the presence of those files and skip through each disk quickly. Again, I get to disk 4 and it won't accept it.

    I see that the problem is that my Dvd drive keeps becoming undetected/unrecognised and it seems to happen at this stage of the install. When I reboot the machine, it appears back in the device manager and when I go through the Steam installer again, it becomes unrecognised again, causing the process to stop.

    It seems this is a Windows 10 issue. Could a mod please move this to the Windows forum maybe? Thanks

    Loads of stuff on Google about Windows 10 and DVD drives, including some suggested solutions. Have you tried manually installing a driver for your DVD drive?

    Found out it was actually the install disk itself. I decided to make ISOs of all the disks and install them with the inbuilt virtual drive thing in Win 10. When I was creating the ISO for Disk 3, it got stuck half way through. Tried it on a laptop running Win 7 with the same result.
    Disk looks flawless too.

    Have sent it back now for a replacement and in the mean time I've let Steam download it. Will take an age but may put up with it!
