Cant get my old Amiga 1200 Disks to read on Amiga 500

[jazzee]

I used to have an Amiga 1200 back in the day.I sold it but kept all my disks (tunes).I have now bought an Amiga 500 and when i insert my disks i get "not a dos disk".I know just a little why it does this,it is because when i saved them to disk the disks were formatted a different way allowing extra space on the disk.Not a program cruncher just a disk which formatted so many k bigger.Anybody know what i mean? because i cant remember how i done it as it was that long ago but i am wanting to read the disks on the 500 i have.Is there a way to do this.

Thanks if anybody can help!
