A1200 Hard Drive install

HELP PLEASE FIRST TIME AMIGA HD INSTALL!!

I have just got my hands on a A1200, and a 44pin 2.5" AMIGA IDE connector.

I have a 12GB IBM laptop HD(Works on PC).
I have opened up the A1200 and have connected the HD to the Mainboard with the IDE cable.
When I power-up the A1200 and load workbench 3.0 from floppy, I enter Shell and attempt to change the DIR to HD0: :crazy:
I have also tried looking in the BOOT MENU (holding both mouse button's when powering up), but I only see the default devices

DF0: & CC0:

There does not seem to be any Hard Drive relevent device present? :crazy:

If I listen carefully I can tell that the Laptop HD is powed and running..

Is the lack of a HD0: ?? meaning that the Hard Drive is not compatable with the A1200? :crazy:

Can anyone email a ADF to format the HD or is it all the required software in workbench/Extras 3.0? :idea:

I can remove the HD and reconnect to My PC to create a sutible partition etc if needed.

 :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:

GETTING THERE!  :-D

Managed to mount the Hard drive. (Thanks for the tips thus far!), I now have 4 partitions!
Used Workbench 3.0 to Format them..(took ages)
Whats the simplest way to install Workbench & Extras etc onto the Primary partition (HD0:)??  :-D

Sused!
I now have WorkBench3.0 installed!  :-D
And a lovely Backup with the help of AmigaExplorer!
Many thanks to amije and everyone who contributed!

Next Question is what do I do to install software from floppy and ADF on AE?

I have seen suggestions of HDinstallers for each specific software title, or have I got this all wrong?  :-?
