I got the steam folder of a game in my external hdd, I changed my OS and steam dont detect the game anymore, how am I supposed to do if I want to tell to steam that the game is already downloaded in X location, so it dont need to download the game again ?
You add that folder on steam preferences?

install gentoo
here is how I do it
>create new steam folder on your HDD
>install the smallest game you have
this will create the proper file directories within the steam folder
>navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
>copy all the folders
>paste them in X:\New Steam directory\steamapps\common
>go back to steam
>click download on one of your games
This shouldn't download anything and will only discover all the files now in the folder. You should only need to do this for one game and it will discover all of the games.
