You may not; millions do. I still did on my machines when I lived in
the UK - dual drives (3.5" and 5.25") in one of them.

Also, you could plug in a USB floppy drive at any time, if you so wished.

As for the DVD drives: are they PATA or SATA?

If they're PATA, check their jumper settings. I have a suspicion you
might have them both set to "CSEL", which means "cable select". Master
and slave are set at bootup according to which drive is on the end of
the cable and which is in the middle. This is not very reliable and
while it might work with Windows, it might not with Linux.

You should also check if you are running the latest BIOS version for
your motherboard.
