Soo many questions, such little time:-)
Also when i opened up the A1200 there's no where to put the HD! there's a space and 4 holes but they wont hold the drive! Am i missing some kind of mounting bracket?
Sounds like it. There is supposed to be a hard drive brack to hold the 2.5 hard drive.
About the rest, do you have ANY Workbench floppys?
