Question about Amiga floppies and duplicating disks

[jasongins]

I am a fairly new Amiga 500 user. I am having difficulty duplicating my workbench disk. Should I be able to boot up with a duplicated workbench disk? My duplicates don't seem to work, either to boot up with or just to access through workbench . I have been using HD floppies to make them, but in reading these boards it seems that the Amiga needs 720k floppies without the hole in the upper left. Is this the reason my duplicates don't work, or am I doing something else wrong? Also, does anyone know where I can get a hold of Arkanoid? I've been searching ebay but with no luck.

Following the instructions listed early in the Amiga 500 manual on making a copy of Workbench , I simply selected "duplicate disk" in one of the drop down menus in workbench.

DoomMaster - Thank you !  I thought I was having problems with the drive in this unit, but it seems my problem is with the HD disks, not the unit. I'll get a hold of some DSDD disks asap. One of the above posters told me where I could download arkanoid, but I'm not sure how I would get it onto a floppy readable by the Amiga. I use an XE1541 cable for my C64 stuff, is there something similar for Amiga?
