WOW dragging it to the Ram drive worked!! OMG!!
 
No I need to patition the drive 2 parts, do I do a low level format first?
 
1. Boot
2. Games
 
any guides on that please

Boot or better called Workbench, between 500MB and 1GB is more than enough, use the remaining space for Games.
 
Couple of pointers on when starting with Winuae:
 
- Always use a HDF file to start with, not ADF floppies!
- You can also make a copy of the HDF from like Classic WB, then format it within WinUAE and then setup a normal 3.1 installation using F12 and inserting adf's in DF0
- The best config is 030/040 setup with 2MB chip / 128MB 32BitChip / 512MB Z3Fast
- Speed; not standard A1200, use custom and type 90

Did you miss Cammy's post?
 
Please do not call partitions WORKBENCH and GAMES. AmigaDOS will become confused if you do.
 
Each partition has two names: the device name (similar to the drive letter in Windows) and the volume name (the name you give when you format the partition). The device name is given in HDToolbox. Use DH0 and DH1 for your two partitions. Then you will see DH0:NDOS and DH1:NDOS on the Workbench screen.
 
NDOS means "not a dos disk" and tells you that these yet need to be formatted before they can be used. Select one at a time and choose "Format disk" from the menu. Now give it a volume name (Workbench or Games respecively) and click on "Quick format".
 
After that you can open the Install drawer on the Install3.1 disk and double click on your preferred language in order to install Workbench to the harddrive. When asked for your skill, do *not* select novice mode.

Like Thomas said, the drives need to be DH0 and DH1, once you format them, you can give them names like Workbench and Games.
Then start the install and do it on expert level.
