I have a Dell Dimension XPS-R450 running WinXPPro SP1. I installed an Epson
SD800 dual floppy drive in it. I can't get the 5.25" drive recognized, only
the 3.5" drive. How can I get both drives to be seen?
 
Open your BIOS and look for a setting to enable it.
Your BIOS must recognize the new floppy drive if
Windows XP is to recognize it.

Is it enabled in BIOS? Also some motherboards only support one floppy
drive.(been there, done that)
