Hi,

If you have the original disks, or CAPS images, there is: www.whdload.de

If you have cracked/pirated disks, there is no way unless the disk has a built in HD installer.

Bad luck then... I was thinking on the ADF's (the available TOSEC collections in eDonkey)

Check out back2roots website.
http://www.back2roots.org/

There are almost 200 pre-installed HD-games ready for download - and legal too!

Check www.back2roots.org , they have quite a few ADF's online that can be installed with WHDload.

Erm, most of Back2Roots .adf files are cracked, so won't work with WHD load - a cracked floppy will often work where an original won't under UAE.

I didn't say all or even close to all games on B2R would work... I said that there was quite a few games online there that could be. If one check the info for the game one can see if WHDLoad work with the game or not.

other than that, download the CD version and copy it to your hard disk...
