The HD you refer to I think is the HD on PC disks. Be careful referring to HD cus HD can mean floppy disk that is high density, a floppy drive like the Power Computing XL drive that uses patch to read high density disks or an internal hard drive. There use to be a drop down from the format. sadly XP dropped the 720K format facility. From that point you can source various copies of DOS based applications like MultiDOS and MessyDOS and CrossDOS and start creating disks that can read PC disks.Ī PC needs to be Win98 or Win95. Many cover disks booted into their own version of Workbench and on the disks is all you need to create a self booting floppy. You can create Workbench disks from any assorted number of old floppy disks. You already have the moest important thing you need. The gaming is just something else you do. This is a long post but may prove useful and let you approach the problem from the very good computer that you now own.

Forget the PC for now and get up and running with the Amiga.
