There are multiple issues here.
First, if you want to use both floppy drives, your floppy cable must
have both connections on it, since there is rarely more than a single
floppy controller slot on a motherboard.
A quick note on this - if the motherboard is after a certain era, a
two drive cable won't help. As a cost reduction measure, chipset
manufacturers dropped the 2nd drive select pin off of the controller. The
BIOS configuration screen should reflect this by only showing
configuration information for a single floppy drive.
apologies for the noise if this doesn't apply. :)
