can my cloanto cd be copied and made into a bootable hard disk partion and then how would I access all the other drives on my pc or are they best left alone.
Yes, it can be done. You need two partitions, one tiny one to hold the Linux kernel, ramfilesystem and grub (the bootloader), and one partition to act as disk for UAE. I have not looked so much at amigaforever to tell you exactly what to do, but it can be done. All in all though, I dont see the point, as it gives you little or no advantage over WinUAE, I would even say it gives you less, since you will not have any way to configure network etc.
