That may like a very silly question, but are you sure you have actually copied the data files on your hard drive? I don't have my RWA CDs with me at the moment (since the games are entirely on my hard drive) but I seem to remember that there were minimal versions of the games (basically, what the installer copied of the drive) on CD1, while the big data files were on the other CDs.

Let's take KQ6 for example:

I've put it in C:\SIERRA\KQ6 .
In that directory, I have several files, including :
- the many *.DRV hardware drivers
- a huge RESOURCE.AUD (voices)
- RESOURCE.SFX (SFX - duh!)
- 65535.MAP, MESSAGE.MAP, RESOURCE.MAP, RESOURCE.MSG
- RESOURCE.000 (the actual game)
- a SEQ subfolder containing several *.SEQ files (intro videos)
- EXE, installer, etc.
- patch files (*.HEP, *.SCR)
- RESOURCE.CFG (config file)

And my RESOURCE.CFG reads:

videoDrv = VGA320.DRV
soundDrv = GENMIDI.DRV
audioDrv = AUDBLAST.DRV
joyDrv = NO
kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV
mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV
memoryDrv = ARM.DRV
directory = \SIERRA\KQ6
mode = real
minHunk = 207k
language = 1
cmd = kq6cd
sync = .\
audio = .\
audioSize = 45K
cd = YES
movieDir =.\seq
patchDir =.

Please tell me how your folder contents / RESOURCE.CFG differ, and we should be able to work things out (and even if it eventually works, please do tell me what you did wrong --- I'm trying to rewrite my big post above to make it clearer, so knowing what went wrong will help me get it better).
