Floppy Disk Formats That are Supported in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q309623
"Windows XP supports formatting only the 1.44MB disk format. Three-mode
floppy drives (drivers that are capable of reading/writing with 720KB, 1.2MB
and 1.44MB 3.5" disks) requires special driver support, and support for this
feature is not included in Windows XP. Some 3-mode FD drivers may be
installed on PCs with Windows XP by OEMs, although Microsoft does not
provide the end-user support for 3-mode drivers.
Please contact your OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) if you have any
questions on 3-mode drivers."
