Thank you Kriz, i'll try WHDload.
One more question: all the games must be installed on the HD by WHLoad? If they have an installer can't i use it?
My only problem in this case is that i don't know which path i must type in the command line of the installer, which is on the disk 1, like install DH0: or something like this. Windows ruined all my memories!!!

My WinUAE configuration: Amiga 4000 AGA 68040 Kickstart and Workbench 3.1 version. I create also a hardisk file of 100 mb with Workbench installed on.

Load Workbench, then insert disk1. On the disk is an installer program. Launch this, choose your language (no Italian ) and then choose your path. ie DH0:/Games/Dune2
(Create the folder Games/Dune2 first)

At the disk prompt, press F12 to bring up the WinUAE console, find the next disk and press OK.

Does this work for you?

I tried HD/Games/Dune2 but the program said it couldn't lock the path. (HD is the name i gave to my harddisk)...

For crist sake... the guy is missing the command "install"
I know for sure the game Colonization has it on disk, just copy it to your C folder.

Some other games or progs may have it

He is not asking for WHD load... its a cool thing, but when i can avoid that one i do
