You have to get it installed on steam, you don't install it from the disc itself.
Open up Steam, sign in, press "Games", press "Activate a product on steam", put in your cd-key. If it's a valid cd-key, it should install Half-Life on your steam account. Then run the ESF installer and it should install ESF to the proper Steam Half-Life directory.

Yup.
Create an account on Steam, download it. Once you enter your CD-key into your account on steam, it is forever there.
Unless you get banned for hacking on Steam.
but your disc could snap and you could always download it straight from Steam.

If you buy it from the steam store you won't receive a "disc". You will simply have the game on your account, and can install it anytime, anywhere.
If you bought it from a local store and have the disc, just entire the cdkey, and it will be on your account the same way. The actual disc isn't required.
