When I bought mine you could state what name you wanted it to have.

Ah right, cheers. Never had that option as far as I can remember. Will probably get in touch with him to see if he'll change it for me.

I have paid the registration fee and havent used WHDload yet. My 030 card is on its way to me at the moment and then i need to get a hard disk and away I go.

You could give the key a test run in WinUAE, and download the KGWHD game packs.

In fact you could use WinUAE to build your Workbench setup and then once you have an HD just copy the lot onto it via WinUAE and it will be ready to go in the A1200.

Jeeze Harrison, I dont know where to start. can you direct me to a link or site that will walk me through setting up a HDD and putting it in my miggy?

Fairly easy:

Connect your Amiga HDD up to your PC's IDE.
Boot up your PC
Start WinUAE with '-disablehddsafetycheck' parameter
Add your Amiga HDD in the Hard Drive screen
Set up your HDD as you would in a real Amiga
Shutdown PC and remove Amiga HDD
Put it in Amiga

DONE!

I need to get some time in on winuae, I have only just started to play around with it. All the emulation I have been doing with amiga adfs has been on the Gp2x, its totaly different.

@PubZombie

I've written a couple of articles on the CA Wiki that run though how to setup an Amiga HD on a PC using WinUAE. You can see the articles by going to http://wiki.classicamiga.com/Installing_a_large_Harddrive_(4GB_or_larger)

Once the HDD is setup I highly recommend you look at the ClassicWB package as the Workbench setup to install on to the HD. It is a very nice preconfigured WB setup that is lightweight, so doesn't contain loads of clutter, but is configured nicely so it has most utilities and other stuff already setup to work nicely.

ClassicWB also has WHDLoad preinstalled so you can just drop your key into the correct directory to use it. And with WHDLoad I recomend downloaded the Killergorilla Game packs as they contain every game supporte by WHDLoad, already installed and setup ready to go.

You can download ClassicWB from http://classicwb.abime.net/ I recommend using with the ADV or ADVSP versions with your 030 accelerator as they offer a bit more for the extra CPU power.

For the KGWHD load packs, you can download them from http://kgwhd.whdownload.com/

Ask anything if you get stuck or need to know something.
