I need some help with installation

[IrishBlood]

I didnt know where else to post this so i thought i'd try here.

I got the Empire and Napoleon total war game of the year addition for christmas, not realising i had to download the whole thing from steam (something that would take me over 24 hours with my crappy internet connection) I did some googling and came across this solution:

Im stuck at point 7, my laptops dvd drive is busted so im using an external usb one. I think the problem is that the shortcut i have to create doesnt recognise the external dvd drive or something.

This isnt anything illegal, the game was bought in Game Stop, the discs are right here, i just want to install the game and start playing now, rather in 3 days time after some uncessesary download is completed, can anyone help me?

infinate rep for whoever can help!
