Or hold down both mouse buttons when you power up and wait for a menu screen to appear, then select boot with no start-up sequence, you'll be dumped into CLI where you can take a look at files etc. you can check your start-up sequence and user-startup files by typing either:-

ed s:startup-sequence

or

ed s:user-startup

Hope this helps.

It's a semi-colon (;) at the beginning of the line

Windows will complain if you try to format an HD floppy as DD. Windows can't write 880k Amiga disks, you have to use a PC formatted (720k) disk.

Amigas can read these disks if you have CrossDOS running (part of OS 3), check that you have the PC0 driver mounted.  If that is done then you will be able to read/write PC disks as you would normally.
