If your using windows xp you can read & write Amiga disks on your 3.5 ' drive (can't be a USB 3.5' drive)Really? I was under the impression that PC disk drives can't, regardless of software, because the way they're built with Independent Drive Electronics prevents the kind of low-level control needed. If I'm wrong, fair do's; Evidious, tell us how it goes. For the workbench images, you can also try: If mrnukem's suggestion doesn't work, you'll need either a drive which can write Amiga disk formats, like a CatWeasel, or an Amiga 1200 - they can read 720kB DOS disks. Copy the.adf image to a 720kB DOS disk, create a RAM disk on the Amiga, copy the image into that, then write out the image to a new disk as an Amiga disk. There's more to it than that, but it's been a while since I've done it and I don't have an Amiga to hand at the minute.
You might have to compress the disk image to fit it on the DOS disk. Amiga Workbench 2.1 and higher ships with CrossDOS that allows the AmigaOS to read/write 720K PC formatted disks. A PC disk drive cannot write (I'll reiterate that a few more hundred times) Amiga disks unless you have a Catweasel controller hooked up. If a disk image (ADF) file is under 720K (the Amiga format for a floppy is normally 880K), you can bring it over to your Amiga and write a real disk there using a ton of different utils found on aminet.net That said, if you need a WB 1.3 disk for an A500, send me a physical address and I'll send you one.

The set makes it possible to boot and set up any Classic Amiga model (including the Amiga 1000, 3000 and 4000T) using a floppy drive emulator or after copying to suitable media (floppy disks, CompactFlash cards, etc.) Included ADF files: Workbench 3.1 Floppy Disk Set (6 images) Workbench 2.1 Floppy Disk Set (5 images).
