I have booted into Workbench and opened the shell and types "mount PC0". Initially it told me that "PC0" couldn't be found

: was missing, that's why it complained.
Code: [Select]
mount PC0:

when I insert a DD floppy formatted on my PC it won't recognise it and comes up with DF0:???

That is normal. You should see both PC0 and DF0 however. When amiga floppy is in the drive you should see PC0:??? and the amiga volume. When MSDOS floppy is in the drive you should see DF0:??? and the msdos volume.

Copied PC0 file from the Storage3.0 disk to the following:

Workbench3.0:Devs/DOSDrivers/

REBOOTED

At the SHELL prompt types "mount pc0:"

It told me the device was already mounted

If you put it to devs/dosdrivers there is no need to separately "mount pc0:" it, it's mounted by the system automagically.

so I inserted my PC formatted DD floppy and it just came up DF0:??? (no other PC0 icon).

That's quite weird. Is the floppy really DD, or HD formatted as 720K?
