Ok, double clicked on the floppy icons:
RAM disk: 100% full, 0k free, 13k in use
Empty: 0% full, 1,188m free, 305k in use
I'm guessing 'Empty' is the HDD. There is, appropriately, nothing in it
Putting a CD into either drive results in no further icons appearing, unlike the floppy drive, which behaves as described above
When I type Mount CD0: in a shell box, nothing happens, it just goes to the next line, no error message
I used the format disk utility thing and it listed the following things that could be formatted:
CC0: - 20k capacity
DF0: - 880k capacity (the floppy drive??)
DH0: - 32m 12% used (the CD-RW I had in the drive??)
DH1: - 1189m 0% used (the HDD drive??)
Typing Mount DH0: gives the error message 'unknown command' or similar
DH0 and DH1 are both the hard drive - it's been partitioned into two partitions. DH0 is your Boot partition which has Workbench on it. DH1 is empty and you would generally store your programs, games etc on this partition.
Unlike Windows machines which usually just stick everything together on the same partition, Amigas usually have two or more partitions to keep the Operating System files separate from the user's data.
CC0 is your PCMCIA slot and, yes, DF0 is your floppy drive.
