Alright, get this. I call up Valve, tell them my problem. They say, "It's a faulty disc, you need to get a new one." So I go and get it exchanged, no questions asked. I come and install it again, SAME PROBLEM. Another screwed up disc, I'm very frustrated.

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!
