I would just use HDInstTools from Aminet. You can load up your Workbench disk, mount PC0: from your Storage disk, and then access the program from a 720 kb disk formatted in your PC.
Download HDInstTools as well as LHA.run from
www.aminet.net
and put it on the PC formatted disk, and you should be able to bring the hdd up and running.

If you are using a 1.44 MB disk as your PC0 disk it won't work.

Try formatting the disk on the Amiga and then put it in the PC.
The syntax is
format drive pc0: name whatever noicons

You have to change disks when it ask you to, but otherwise it should work straight away.
Try copying PC0 to devs:dosdrivers on your WB disk, and reboot.
