You are using WON, you need to play ESF with Steam. This explains how:

ESF will NOT work with any game other than Half-Life 1

1. Download Steam.

2. Run the .exe file you just downloaded to install Steam and let it update completely. You will need your CD-Key from the back of your Half-Life 1 case.

3. When Steam is finished updating, turn it on.

4. Under the "Games" selection in the Steam toolbar, select "Activate a product on Steam..." and input your CD-Key.

5. Once your CD-Key is authenticated, download Half-Life 1 from Steam and let it update completely.

6. Once that is done, run Half-Life 1 once.

7. Download ESF v1.2.3 full installer.

8. Run the installer.

9. It will point to the correct directory for you, so just hit install. The directory should look somewhat like this :
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\Your Account\half-life\esf

10. ESF should now appear in your games list.

11. Double-click and enjoy!

Note that you need a valid cd key of Half-Life. Not a keygen-generated one, an original one, which can only be obtained by buying the game legally. And read all the other stickes before asking for help again, which include but aren't limited to:

And don't ask how to get the game working with WON, because it's impossible, and you won't get help here.

There are other ways, but buying a copy of Half-Life is the only legitimate way.
For Open Beta, there are no other ways, since it doesn't work with WON. Therefore he has to use Steam.

i know i need to buy the half life for the CD KEY, there is no other way??
Uh, if you didn't actually thief your copy of half-life, you could just register that CD key with Steam?

You said yourself that you know you need to buy the half-life CD, so why did you then ask if there was another way? :S
how about just buying it?

He said that he knows that he needs an original. Judging by the second half of his post he doesn't have one and doesn't want to buy one. Therefore, we can't help him. Am I wrong?

You are quite correct.
