You can always try this trick to "convert" HD floppies to DD floppies:
Cover the second punched-out square "hole" on the top of the disk (NOT
the write protect hole with the little shutter) with a good quality
opaque tape (you definitely don't want this coming off in your FD
drive!). This should do the trick for you.
