If you browse the backlog of this forum, you will find this question answered numerous times, also in the emulation forum.
Also, if you search for "ST2Disk" using, for example, google, you will find a couple of BBSes and forums where the same question has been discussed.
To briefly summarize:
On modern PCs most of the tools i have known don't work very well as disk drives or Windows have problems writing more than 79 tracks and more than 9 sectors.
If you have a simple DOS boot disk, it might work out better.
Otherwise, there are also tools on the ST so if your ST-files fit onto a DD-formatted disk, you might be able to write back the content on the ST, but with 1MB and no harddisk, this will not be a lot of fun either.
Probably, if your PC has RS232 and you have a null-modem cable, you can use Ghostlink to make the PC a slave disk of your ST. It will not run executables from the PC but as a data storage container, it will work out. Then you could read the ST-files from the enslaved PC and write back to disk on your ST.
Good luck.
