Welcome to amiga.org  :-)
The easiest way would be to open up the amiga and see if the hard drive is there. You also might want to take a look at the battery, as it tends to leak after such a long time and the acid often ends up killing the amiga. You safely remove that battery, as it is only used for keeping the clock afaik. If you really need the clock to keep its time, then you can get a replacement battery for cheap.

I hope you will be happy with your amiga  :-)

Is it possible to connect a pc-harddisk onta a A2000 because I have a very old 500mb harddisk which should be enough for the things I want to do with my amiga.

A pc HD will work just fine, but it must be a SCSI one with the right interface. I am sure you find cheap ones on ebay or similar.

The easiest way is probably to just get an amiga that comes already with a HD.. Like and a1200hd, a3000 or a4000. The a1200 and a4000 also support aga, which makes them a great gaming machine when bundled with a HD and some software like whdload.
