What machine are you using it on (presume IIgs?)

Is your 5.25" disk driver active?

Can you see the 5.25" drive Icon on IIgs finder?

Is the slot 6 set to "Disk Port"

Did you "double-click" on the drive icon to read the disk?

Does it ask to format/initialise the disk?

ProDOS uses the same format as SOS so you should have no problems viewing 
the SOS formatted disk under GS/OS or ProDOS.
