I messed up A600 boot! Help!

I was messing with some tools which are installed by previous owner and oppened up folder called fat95. I started it and selected option to copy floppy disk. I had hombre boot disk in drive and the whole disk was copied to hdd. Everything was ok until next reboot. Amiga doesn`t boot workbench ahymore, it tries to boot hombre and asks to insert hombre floppy so it can continue. What can I do here to change to normal boot?

What about installing fresh workbench since I don`t think I have those files? Will previously installed apps remain on hdd and be able to start?
I have a German version installed at the moment but don`t speak that language at all.

Well there is a bunch of apps and tools including whdload and only a few games. I hope I`ll manage to install it properly since I never did it before.
