Try this:
Open a DOS window on your PC
Insert the DD disk in your A: drive
Type:
format a: /n:9 /t:80

This works for me, hope it works for you.

Yes, it is formatted as FAT. After mounting PC0: you shuld be able to read it.
Maybe I don't get it right, but I thought your problem was formatting the disk?

[taunusand]

Oh sorry, I misunderstood the situation.
Do you have other WB disks? Back in the days, everybody had them...

How does the icon(s) look when inserting the PC formatted disk in the Amiga after double-clicking the PC0 icon?

I assume that you have formatted the disk on your PC and transferred the files to the disk, wich you downloaded from aminet.
