    Around March of this year I bought Fear Gold Edition with Fear and the first expansion. I loved playing the game especially online deathmatch. I just put a new harddrive in my computer and did a fresh install of Vista. The problem is I still have the box for Fear and the game disc but i can't find the case. Therefore I can't install the game on this harddrive and I already reformated the old drive so its gone. Without breaking forum rules and without doing anything illegal is there anyway I can install the game? I know I could download the free multiplayer but I would like to still play the single player campaign.

    You lost the CD Key right? Probably the only thing you can do legitimately is contact the people who make the game and explane to them your situation. I would think a good company would just give you a new cd key right away over the phone, if they are picky tho they may ask for proof that you own the game.
