Thats a bit unfair - we answer many emails helping Amigans every day and contribute to a few forums. In fact it is a main priority to our make Amiga products more user-friendly that leads us to provide ready-to-go hard disks, network cards etc.
Anyway, apologies for the sparce reply above.
Looking at the problem, Workbench will not allow formatting of the hard disk- have you the correct version of the FastFileSystem in your L: directory?
A standard A600 memory will be fine for formatting of the hard disk drive- although reducing the buffers for the hard disk is an idea. Also check that the drive's geometry is correctly setup in HDToolbox.
If you dont have access to HDToolbox we stock the AmigaOS Installation floppies.
Hope this helps....

If you are having trouble with the PCMCIA card, email and I will send you the AmigaKit Network CD as a lha file email attachment. That has a full installer and AmiTCP to get the card working quickly on the Amiga.
