There might be a cheap or free easy way.

Just plug in the Drive to your PC via an adaptor if your HD is 2.5.............if its a full size 3.5 drive then no worries.just make it slave.....................go the the BIOS settings.........and make sure it is seen.

Then load up Windows and use WinUAE.....you should be able to boot off your AmigaHD if you have Workbench 3.1 installed..now just drop the OS 3.9 CD into your PC and it should show up on Workbench.........if it does not.make sure you have the CD0 icon in DEVS or that you installed IDE fix.............buit anyway.you can also just copy the entire OS3.9 CD onto a drawer in one of your Workbench Partitions...........that way you have the whole thing on the A1200 HD..now put the HD back in the A1200 and install from there.

WinUAE can be quite cool eh? :-)


EDIT:  forgot to add..................if You have any Compact Flash cards with the PCMCIA adaptor and a Laptop with a PCMCIA port.............then just put the CD in the Laptop........and copy the whole OS 3.9 installation onto the Compact Flash card (hopefully you have a 128mb or larger) and now just stick the CF card wit PCMCIA adaptor in your A1200 and your good to go!  Who needs a stinking CDROM drive? :-)

By the way, you may need to first install Fat95.lha and CFD.lha into your A1200 first to be able to read the compact flash card............get it on Aminet.

CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...
