You have a 1200, so you should have crossdos as part of the operating system. If so you can format a double density floppy as a 720k ms dos compatible disk. A windows pc cannot read an Amiga 880k disk.

To see if you have crossdos, open up your system disk (DH0) and look in Devs/dosdrivers. You should have a file called pc0. If it's not there look in the folder called storage. If it's there copy Pc0 to the Devs folder and reboot.

A much better explanation is here: https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaOS_Manual:_Workbench_CrossDOS
A1200 in DIY Tower. 3.2 ROMs (softkicking 3.2.3), OS 3.2.3, CF card, CD RW and IDE to SD adapter running off the internal IDE port (using the A4000 4-port IDE adapter from Amigakit), Pistorm 32 lite with Pi4/2GB/Emu68 or Blizzard 1230-IV, with 32MB 60ns RAM and 50MHz 68882 FPU.
