Hello,

To run windows application under Linux just run
wine <application.exe>
from folder where <application.exe> is located.

in your case i think you should install Banana from original disk first, 
and then copy your old working directory from hda1 to new location 
(probably to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files). After this is done, try

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/<Banana folder>/<Banana executable>
