After reading all your ideas, I managed to make it work doing more or less what you said.
Instead of renaming or deleting I installed Steam on my second computer. Installed HL2, HL2EP1, HL2EP2 and SourceSDK. Delete the sourcesdk and sourcesdk_content folders and the sourceSDK gfc and the blob file from the non-working steam. Then copied the sourcesdk and sourcesdk_content folders and the sourceSDK gfc from the second computer to the non-working Steam. After that it started to work. Maybe it had something to do with the beta? Since I always had the beta parameter when rebuilding the non-working Steam, while in the second computer I didn't had that (I only add it later after all was installed).
