I have a 3 1/2 inch floppy drive (1.6mb) installed into my computer,
and it is set in the CMOS BIOS settings as such, however, the computer
(as well as such programs as Windows, MSD, etc...) still reads it as a
5 and a quarter (360k) floppy disk drive. How can I fix this problem?
Is there some special code or command I'm suppose to type in at the
Dos Prompt? The drive did not come with any paperwork nor instructions
on how to install it, nor did the computer have any booklets on how to
install floppy disks.

Any and All comments, sugestions, questions, etc... will be greatly
appreciated. Please reply to me directly by E-Mail. Thank You for your
help and assistence!
