xp does not recognixe floppy drive 2.88mb density

[tom v]

Same floppy is installed on two operating systems. Floppy
is a multiple desity drive and works fine on windows
2000. In windows XP system recognizes drive only as a
standard floppy. Therefore, can't read 2.88mb diskettes
or format them. Help would be greatly appreciated.
