Default Floppy drive help please

I have a PC with Win98 (1st ED). In explorer the 3.5" floppy is shown as a
5.25 floppy and is unusable. The settings in the bios are correct. I have
swapped cables and floppy drives. I have removed all devices and reinstalled
them. I have updated the BIOS. No change.

If I boot into DOS, I can use the drive without a problem.

I am not wanting to reinstall the PC.

Any suggestions?
