When I try to install half life 2/counter strike source it starts up the installation. It installs up to disc 4 and then it comes to a file called. "Counter Strike Source Shared.gcf" and then it stalls. A message pops up saying, "Could not read file from steam folder, please verify that the file exsists and that you can access it." I dont know what the hell it means. I cancel it, and of course the game wont install. Im pissed because I think I got a faulty HL2 disk, but im not sure. Anybody else having this problem?
I am running:
DFI Lan Party Socket 755 925X-T2 Motherboard
Pentium 4 3.4GHZ HT
PCI Express 16X Graphic port, "Geforce 6600 GT 128mb DDR3"
1GB DDR2 Ram
Maxtor 40GB harddrive
Windows XP Professional (Is it possible I have to upgrade to the XP SP2?)
pleeease help me!

I had the same problem!
I eventually decided to install 'Steam' ( http://www.steampowered.com/) first.
Once this was installed installation fromn the CD was possible.
Hope this helps!

According to the HL-2 tech support page there is an issue with the EU DVD version of the game where if you do not choose to install HL2 *and* CS:Source then you will get an error message during the install process. (kept getting a similar message to you)
When you have done a *complete* install (and registered and decrypted) the game files via Steam, you can remove the CS:Source files (if you don't want them) via the 'my games' menu.
