- >:I have a 120 MB 2.5" HD in my A1200. It's jam packed now and I want to
- >:replace it with an 800+ MB 3.5" Segate AV HD.
-
- >:Now I could back up my current HD to floppies and load them onto the new
- >:HD. I don't fancy this.
-
- >:You are supposed to be able to use 2 IDE drives on an A1200. How do I do
- >:it. Note that I only want to do this temporarily.
-
- Install your new drive as master. I the drive is new they used to be ready for that.
- Then you need to change your small drive to slave with jumpers. You must find out how
- this is done, take a look at the manufactors homepage, or ask somebody :-)
-
- Another complication is 2.5"->3.5" as I don't know how well this works.
