Does anyone have the least clue of how to install and have windows support a 5.25 floppy drive? I have a customer that still uses his 5.25 and wants it on his new machine.

I am taking a shot in the dark at this, but try disk manager in computer management.

It is built into Win2k and as long as the BIOS support a 5 1/4" floppy then it will work fine. I have one in my system.
Make sure you enable the 5 1/4" (1.2 MB) floppy in your BIOS.
