I also am trying to transfer files from my pc to my Amiga 4000 with no luck.

Most A4000's have a High density disk drive, so you should be able to read HD floppy drives from a PC (1.44MB disks). This should be enaugh to get adf files as well, as they are always less than 1MB in size. As adviced before in this thread, locate the PC0 (probably in storage/dosdrivers) and run it. You should get a PC0 icon on the workbench as soon as you insert a disk.

You could get a network card, but if its only for transfering som files it will be expensive. I think it would be cheaper to get a IDE-CDROM drive and connect it to your IDE interface. And then burn the all the files you want to a CD and get them from there. You must probably disconnect one of your HD's while you do this. But if you need the space you should probably try to locate another bigger HD anyway. People throw HDs like that away anyway so it shouldnt cost you much, if anything.
