Sounds like you just don't have the cross-dos configured to read the
"external" drive. I assume you're talking about a Syquest or Bernoulli or
something like that. If the settings in the cross-dos file in DOSdrivers
does not exactly and perfectly match the actual settings that the drive was
formatted with on the PC, the Amiga will think it's an ndos disk, and will
not read it.
Oh, by the way, make sure you're formatting the disk as FAT, not NTFS, and
keep your filenames 8.3. The Amiga CrossDOS will only work with FAT, and
