I have strong suspicion that it is because the diskette isn't formatted, but when I try to format it on windows it won't let me.
So I just can't win lol

It has to be formatted! Try http://www.atarimusic.net/featured-arti … todays-pcs

I think you can also use an Atari ST to format it.

I'm still not home...did you try formatting the floppy using Win XP/earlier? If I remember correctly (which I probably don't) later versions of windows will not properly format the disk in a way Crossdos will need. Furthermore, are you using DD or HD floppies?

I am using DD, egr sent them to me and he had programs on some of them so I know they'll work. He sent me a shit ton of blank ones too.
Every time i try to format them on XP this happens. Won't let me choose any formatting options.

I found the CrossDOSFileSystem in L: When I click on it nothing happens, but a little bit of my chip ram gets used up.

Also it recognizes that there is a PC0 in there as seen below

I'll have to try these suggestions when I get home.
I am using DD disk though.
Also, 3.0 came with the machine.

In the meantime: what boomlinde said, you need the actual crossdos + drivers. Also once it's in the folder, double click the icon to activate it. That part is/isn't obvious. Also, Amigados 3.0? Isn't that overkill? Don't quote me, but you might run into discrepancies with various trackers/kickstarter combos under Amigados 3.0.

Welcome to the redundantly frustrating world of Amiga.

Oh, sorry. They cut the best part out smile

Have you put CrossDOSFileSystem in L:? Reading around, some people list it as a required step: http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/filetransfer.htm

Also, once you have the PC0 icon coming up as you insert disk, to be able to read them they need to be DD flop
