Yes it's possible but depends what type of HDD you've got.

If you're using a 3.5" HDD in your A1200 already then you can just plug it into a normal IDE channel and access it using WinUAE. Google for a guide on how-to do this but it isn't too difficult. Just don't activate the drive in windows because it'll fark up the existing setup.

If you've got a 2.5" HDD such as one from a laptop then you'll need a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter from ebay like this one... looks a bit crap but then mine is similar, anyway thats the "kinda" thing you'll be wanting. It just allows you to plug the 2.5" drive into the £.5" connector + molex power plug. Once again you access it via WinUAE without activating it in windows.

AmigaKit has those in a cable form too. Support Amigakit!

Edit: a few seconds too late!  :lol:

You can't really "install" a CD in a 1200, unless its in a tower or you hack a laptop CD into it.

There are two ways, the SquirrelScsi and the SCSI kit for the Blizzard accelerators.

And you could read the docs from AmiCDFS before you ask?

Just edit the line who calls the WinUAE.exe and add the following:

-disableharddrivesafetycheck

The link to WinUAE will look this way:

WinUAE -disableharddrivesafetycheck

Then, when starts, put your hd in the starts and backup your files at will. :-D
