For those who need a step-by-step 'tutorial':
1: If it is downloading, pause the downloads!
1a: Can't pause? Or takes too long? Plug out your internet connection!
2: Right click "Call of Duty: Black Ops - Multiplayer"
3: Select "Delete Local Game Content" and select OK if anything pops up
3a: Game should be greyed out now
4: Right click "Call of Duty: Black Ops" (this is the singleplayer)
5: Select "Delete Local Game Content" and select OK if anything pops up
6: Goto your Steam Folder. (eg: C:\Program Files\Steam)
7: Open folder "SteamApps"
8: Open folder "common"
9: Remove the "call of duty black ops"-folder
10: Close Steam (rightclick tray icon, select EXIT)
11: Plug in your Internet Connection
12: Wait 30s for it to make sure it is connected
13: Press the WINDOWS-KEY + R. This will open up a "RUN"-Box
14: Type in, with quotes: "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install H:
15: Replace the C:\Program Files... with your location of Steam.exe
16: Replace 'H:' with your DVD Drive where the Black Ops DVD is in
17: Press the Enter button ("Return" in English)
It should run Steam. Login to your account.
Now a new window should pop-up saying it needs 8MB on disk to install or something.
Press NEXT and wait. Just wait. And it will install from Disk (you will see ~8GB that will be installed).
Steam will probably freeze sometimes. Just let it run and close any background running things like MSN, ICQ, Internet browsers, etc.
That should work. It's installing for the second time now, for me. Just to make sure this step by step tutorial worked.
edit: Steam will download approx. 100MB after install. This is normal. Just let it download. Due high loads on the Steam servers and thousands of raging players that want to install COD: Black Ops, it will take between 10 and 40 minutes.
