Title. Using fdisk -l /dev/fd0 and it indeed says 360Kib, 720 sectors.
BIOS is correctly set to 1.2M.
Motherboard is A7N8X-X.
Floppy drive is mitsumi D509V3.
Jumper configuration is below.
Test disk is double sided double density.
Do you have any advice? Thank you so much!
Test disk is double sided double density.
DS/DD = 360kB
DS/HD = 1.2MB
Advice? Get a DS/HD disk.
Aw. I feel so noob right now. Thank you very much!
Two more bonus questions:
Will HD disks be recognized automatically ?
I'm using ddrescue to restore disks, is there a better way/program?

As far as HD disks being recognized, the /dev/fd0 device node is supposed to autodetect disks. There are other nodes like /dev/fd0u1440 if you know their major/minor numbers that expect a specific size. I suggest finding a MAKEDEV script that supports them as this seems to be "legacy" knowledge left behind by udev, devtmpfs, and so forth.
I'm not familiar with ddrescue; in any case, if you want an exact image of the disk then linux+/dev/fd0* is a good way to go.
