Workbench

Hi all, after getting a couple of a1200's plus tons of software/utils/games/books and two spare a1200's etc etc.  I finished putting one together today.  Unfortunately, I don't have workbench on an amiga disk (pc only) so i'm unable to get into the "desktop" (been using PC's for to long) to format the hd.  As I have workbench on my PC I was wondering if it's possible to format a blank floppy on the pc, write the relevant files to it then use it on the Amiga?

Thanks all.

Thanks for the info guys.  I'm loath to spend any money (ever) but I have thought of three things I could try...

1. The other a1200's have hd with a non standard os on them, can't remember what it's called...I have the box but again, no original disks.  Would I be able to use this to maybe make a ghost image and port it over to the other hd?

2.  What about using a null modem cable between the amiga and the pc, ftp'ing the workbench files over to the amiga hd (which needs formatting first, I think)...

3.  Would an emu like winua be able to format a floppy on the pc in the correct format then transfer the files from the pc to floppy and then onto the amiga?

Whatcha think?
