Solution
1. Drop the L4D2 files in your \Steam\steamapps\common\ folder
2. tell steam to install L4D2, it should automatically pick the same location (make sure the folder names match like "left4dead2" instead of "left 4 dead 2"
3. Steam will detect the already downloaded files and just fill in the rest of the minor data.
