OS3.9 CrossDos

Did you format the disk on the Amiga or on the PC?

When you formatted it on the Amiga, did you format PC0 or DF0? If your PC0 is unmodified and mounted correctly you should get a PC0:? icon on your Workbench when you put a disk in. Format that and it should work.

Did you really do that? Or did you move it from storage/dosdrivers in to devs/dosdrivers? It needs to be in devs/dosdrivers or PC0 will not mount automatically.

ive just tried to format a disk and the bar went up to 100%, so i thought it had done it but when i clicked on pc0 it still had the original volume name and the disk was 65% full with files?!

I don't know what you mean by "crossdos box". If you mean the CrossDOS commodity, then you don't need to use it. Just go in to your Workbench partition, then in to the System drawer, and run Format. Then select whatever volume is in PC0: and do a slow format (quick format probably won't work). DO NOT remove the disk until the "Empty" icon (for the floppy disk) has appeared on your Workbench and all activity from the disk has stopped.
