Welcome to A.org :-D

You might want to make a new topic for this otherwise I doubt that you'll get many replies.  Anyway, I've written an article that may interest you:

What You Need To Emulate

Basically you need an emulator - a special program that makes your PC think its an Amiga.  For that to work, you then need an "image" of the ROM - the Kickstart ROM is a special chip inside an Amiga that has software the emulator needs.  It's illegal to download it, so you can either copy it across from an existing Amiga, or get a licensed version.  You might be interested in Amiga Forever - it's a combined package that includes the ROMs and emulators, so it's far easier to set up.

Once you have a working emulator, you then need to transfer the disk to the PC, but lets see if the emulator will work first.
