Where does counter-strike: source hide the maps?

We were trying to set up a CS:S dedicated server on another machine, but it had to download the whole freaking thing which takes like 2 hours, so we thought maybe we could copy the files over from a CS:S install and speed up the process. But... where are they hidden? I searched all of my hard drives for *.bsp and found my HL maps, HL2DM maps, CS maps, quake1/2/3 maps, but no CS:S maps. I also looked around for large files, thinking maybe they did .pak files, but couldn't find anything of reasonable size.

Ohhhh, Niiiii-iik...

They are usually in a random folder on the root of your HD.

I've searched all of my hard drives, though. They must not be stored as .bsp files.

Nevermind, they must be stored in the .gcf files.

Ugh, copied all the stuff over and it's still wanting to download. Anybody know where the registry settings or config files are hiding that tell it that the game is already installed are?
