well i guess the disk is damaged then.
but i cant use the amiga disks, can i?

Certainly, you can! Just FORMAT the disks using the CrossDos (or Fat95) Icons. I use a HD external Floppy Drive and the disk shows up as 'PC2' '1440KB Capacity' (CrossDos), or 'MS2' '1440K Capacity' (Fat95) in the requestor.

and if not, can you still buy these old 720kb DS/DD pc disks in the shops

As I said, just do a PC-Formatting on your old Amiga 880K Disks . . . . . there's plenty of old magazine cover-disks around.

and if i buy a cd-rom drive for the A1200 will i be able to burn from the pc and read them on the Amiga?.
the cd´s are the same right?

Not all CD-Rom drives can read CD-R or CD-RW discs. Get one that will, and be sure to 'create' a disc using the right disc format . . . . . the PCs can do 2 or 3 different formats (extentions, etc) on Disc Burning.
