Just installed 2000 on optiplex dell machine, and 5 1/4 floppy showing as opposed to 3 1/2. Any reason why?

Check the BIOS.
Other things to try, remove the floppy disk controllers and let Windows try to find it again.
Check the cables.

Geez, ya would think BIOS mfg's would have removed that from the BIOS by now. I wonder if 5 1/4 media is still commercially available? Does the 5 1/4 show when you open My Computer?.
