You need a program like CrossDOS on the Amiga to read PC formatted floppies and hard drives.  I think the last version was v7.  Another option is to use a null modem serial cable or an ethernet direct network connection between the Amiga and the PC and transfer your files.  I am not understanding why you cannot transfer by CD-ROM though, do you have a working CD drive on the Amiga?  Do you have a CD file system like AsimCDFS installed on the Amiga?  I assume you have a CD writer on the PC.  Make sure it is writing the CD in a format that your Amiga CD file system can read.  Hope this helped, look on the Net for programs and ways to network your Amiga to the PC via serial null modem or ethernet.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
