Sounds like you want to convert them to ADFs.

A PC cannot read Amiga floppy disks except with the two-floppy-drives trick. So you first need some hardware which can read Amiga floppy disks, then you can choose a tool which works with this hardware.

The hardware can be one of these:

- two PC floppy drives
- the Amiga Floppy Reader and a PC floppy drive http://afr.back2roots.org/
- the Catweasel controller and a PC floppy drive http://www.icomp.de/products/catweasel_e.htm
- an Amiga connected to the PC with a serial nullmodem cable http://adfsender.stoeggl.com/index.html or http://www.amigaforever.com/ae/
- an Amiga with a CD writer http://www.estamos.de/makecd/
- an Amiga with USB for accessing thumbdrives http://www.e3b.de/usb/
- an Amiga with PCMCIA and a CF card reader http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/cfd
- an Amiga with network access
- an Amiga with harddrive from which you can remove the HDD and connect it to the PC

Edit: forgot the Kryoflux http://www.kryoflux.com/ which comes next to a "usb tool to keep this amiga demo disc on a pc".
