You sort of did it backward.

1. Uninstall steam.
2. Install Half-life. It will install itself. "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam"
3. Install steam. "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam" that's where it will install.
4. install esf 1.2 and it has a choice won or steam. pick steam.
5. 1.2.1 if you want it. there is prolly 1 or 2 servers that are 1.2. if this doesnt help you IM me.

I got a prob.. you say I need to install half life to ..program files\Valve\Steam, so I put it in an when I try to click next I get a message saying: "Setup requires this product to be installed under a \SIERRA\Half-Life subdirectroy. Setup has changed the directory to reflect this requirement"..
so I need to do it ..program files\Valve\Steam\SIERRA\Half-Life?

oke now you look over here boy or i will throw some taco's on ya,oh well Look you can install Half life in Steam if you have set in the CD key on the steam account then in the Steam Menu after you loging Press the button "play games" then a list will show up with Half Life,Counterstrike and stuff like that,then Right click Half Life and Install game...
Thats it! you dont need to screw around with installing Half Life into your steam directory,you gotta do it In steam! (i think its the only possible way :O )

No, don't install Half Life from the CD. The ONLY thing you need to play Half Life through Steam is a working non-pirated CD-Key. Once you have Steam, you download Half Life through the Steam servers. After you have ran Half Life through Steam at least once, you THEN install ESF 1.2 then the 1.2.1 patch. And then you will see it on your 3rd party games list.

Also, if you have not done so, register your Half Life cd key by clicking on Register Product I Already Own under the 'Browse Games' section of Steam.
