OK, Kudos to whoosh777 & teotwin, after leaving the A1200 on for a few hours, and shaking the harddrive abit, it fires right up. After the Amiga fires up, I finally realized how long it has been (6 years!) *Sigh* I totally forgot all the commands (of course my manuals are no where to be found

). The first 2 things that I want to do is to re-create the workbeach disk and copy all the content to another harddrive. If anyone care to point me to any webpage, or just feeling generous to help me out I would be greatly appericated.
my email address is azdolt "at" yahoo "dot" com
I am in the San Francisco Bay Area in USA.
Thank you once again.
Alan.
P.S. the A1200 is the first computer I brought.
