The amplification of a seed magnetic field by the hydrodynamic behavior of a disk galaxy is an important and challenging problem. We present our initial work on a numerical simulation of the amplification of such a field to large scales and its subsequent evolution. The computations will be carried out using a 3-D magnetohydrodynamic code.
