Windows XP can not read and write 1722k floppies?

I heard that Windows XP can not read and write 1722k floppies. Is this true?

If so, why? Is there a patch to fix this problem?

1722k floppies are read and write supported in Win95/98/Me,
but formatting can only be done with special tools.

Windows (Nt/2k/Xp) cannot read or write 1722k floppies.
There is a floppy driver support issue, cause its
not a hardware problem. So do not make 1722k floppies
if you need to edit them on any Windows PC.

What about 1680k? Will that work in XP?
