Thanks for all the replies guys. Some of the terms are over my head, such as RAD and NODOS. 
I guess I have some stuff to learn.
RAD is a portion of RAM which is used for a separate disk. The contents of it are able to survive a warm reboot. NDOS is a disk format which is not AmigaDOS. You can't access it through the CLI or Workbench. The software usually uses a custom loader when you boot it to access the files.
I have many original floppies here too. Can someone take a noob like me through the steps of installing WHDload and getting the game on the HDD? The WHDload site doesn't really have a basic tutorial. I find their info more confusing than helpful to be honest.
1. Download the WHDLoad usr package, unarchive it and use the installer inside it to install it to your hard drive. That's the core WHDLoad package.
2. Download installers from whdload.de for any games you want
3. For each game, extract the installer and run it. It will ask you to feed the floppies in one by one and install them to hard drive
