Just a quick check : You have a CF Card HD with a Games partition and you want to copy games onto your partition?  
It looks like you are used to doing the WinUAE shuffle so you can just install WHDload and copy your fav Amiga 600 compatible game ADFs onto the A600 CF drive while on your WinUAE PC.  
To play the ADFs native you need to either write them to a Amiga floppy from your A600 with ADF2DISK as Desiv suggested, or you can play around with DiskImage 2 to create virtual floppies.

Suggest you get WHDLoad working in WinUAE first before moving your CF back to the A600 hardware.

If you have a floppy drive you can convert ADF files to floppy using the adf2disk utility from the cli:
You need to have adf2disk in c:  (http://aminet.net/search?query=adf2disk)
Actually the easiest way is from Workbench.  Put in a blank floppy (With HD tab covered if its a HD Disk) double click on the ADF file you want and in the "execute command" field insert the word "adf2disk " with the space in front of the filename.adf.  Press enter and adf2disk should start writing to your floppy.

Boot the A600 with the floppy in place.  Fun time.

If you want to run Diskimage DI2 you will probably have the same memory issue as you need to do it from Workbench.

Sorry.  i think I led you astray. A 68020 is recommended. AKA minimum A1200...
