It should boot from a floppy if it's in there first..
But you can temporarily disable the HD.
Power up the 1200 holding BOTH mouse buttons down.
You will get a boot menu, and you can choose to disable the HD there.
(It's not battery backed up or flash, so that change is for that power cycle only.)

Nah, if Workbench has loaded just pop the disk in and do a reset and it will boot from the disk if it is bootable, if not it will boot to workbench again from the harddrive.

It's possible that the floppy drive is dirty or failing from old age.  But before we go down that path, did you insert the disk before you booted Workbench?  Some games don't use the Workbench at all and have custom boot sectors.  Also, some games use copy protection that is incompatible with Kickstart 3+ or AGA.  What kinds of disks are you putting into the A1200?


It shall always be possible to format the disk though?
