I'm WinDumb and I admit it!

I've just got this feeling I need to spnd yet more money...Doh...!

Naw... I don't think so.  First try updating the motherboard BIOS.  (As stated, make sure you pick the exact perfect match for your motherboard -- "close enough" will usually result in a terminally broken system!)  

Then, if that doesn't work, try a utility that allows larger HDs.  I installed a 60GB Western Digital in an old Pentium 133mhz machine, by using the WD EZ-Drive utility.  Originally with BIOS only, the machine only recognized like 6 GB of the drive.  With the utility, it easily handled the full drive size.  Couldn't have been easier.

Since, then, EZ-Drive has been replaced by "Data Lifeguard Tools", which is still a free download...
Western Digital Data Lifeguard Tools  (Not sure if it works properly on non-WD drives, though.  But odds are, your drive manufacturer has a similar toolkit.)

Maxtor's MaxBlast 3

This looks like what you'd need....

How do I get this into the PeeCee when I only have the standard floppy drive working?

I think the instructions were that it should be downloaded on a PC and then executed to create the boot floppy.  :-(  maybe PC Task on Amiga can help?  ;-)

If not... You might have to borrow a working PC to make the disk.  Bummer...  What a pain.  And people complain about making ADFs back into floppies.  haha!
