Load up windows explorer.
Go to c:\quake\id1\maps
Create it if it doesn't exist.

Yeah it is possible and it's normal that it's printing out some errors.
Please post the full log of the compiling window.

Exactly. When the compiling tools run into certain problems, the .bsp file is NOT being created.

I found this .txt helpful myself:

A lot of people think compiling a map is just a matter of pressing a button, but it means you actually gotta study things sometimes.

it is failing at the bsp step you need to see the logs to see why it was unable to compile the bsp. The vis uses the bsp file and so the error is from vis, there is no BSP file for it to open, exactly why it says no such file. something in your map is making qbsp fail.

I think you really should read aguirRe's tool tip s(link provided by Megalodon). And try to follow some of the basic advices written in there: this file can be considered as the Holy Bible for Quake Mappers.
If you have any troubles, you can also ask to func_ Quake forum that has a very good mappers community (i.e Func_Msgboard: Mapping Help )
Also, I am pretty sure some entities supported in HL are not supported in Quake, hence the error you have.. I think a bit of work is awaiting for you..

Good luck
