2. method firstly pc format on the amiga (install crossdos filesystem) later file tranfer with XP...
Xanaa: I can say that tabuhuso's idea worked quite well for me. There is a guide somewhere (Aminet, or somewhere) that mentioned this. I tried formatting disks on my XP machine via the command prompt, I could not get these disks recognised on my Amiga. I had to format the disks on my Amiga first to transfer files....
Note well, for me, I had a very high disk failure rate with disks that were used extensively to transfer between PC and Amiga, the disks were only useable for a week or so, I had read that this is due to some XP 'quirk' (disk cache, or something) As always, YMMV...
(Of course, if your XP machine has a CD burner, you could just focus on getting a CD-ROM for your Amiga...)
