If anybody can solve this problem, I would be GRATEFUL!

My friend recently gave me his Amiga 2000 computer. It has a harddrive
evidently hooked up to it. However, when I turn on the computer, it ONLY
boots from the floppy drive.

The ONLY disk I have is workbench 2.1. When I get to the desktop it does NOT
show the harddrive.

Is there someway to get the harddrive to work? I am 99.99% sure it works
fine -- but might need a driver or something.  the problem is -- even if I
download the amiga driver on my ibm comuter, I'm not sure how to get the
file onto the amiga computer since I have yet to find an ibm program that
will allow me to format/copy a disc in amiga format.

ANY HELP WOULD BE ENORMOUSLY APPRECIATED.

PS: In the event anybody is interested in buying it, feel free to make me an
offer. I also have the Amiga 1300 Genlock whatever that does.
