In the last few days I have been asking about two problems I was having with my zip drives: 1. I was having trouble formatting and accessing my external zip drive and mounting from device /dev/sda4 2. My internal zip drive on another machine could not seem to produce zip disk that my external zip drive cold read. After much hair pulling and advice form people on the list I solved these problems and exposed my ability to do stupid things. The answer to both problems were contained in the following simple concept partition tables. Once I created a partition table for sda with an entry only for sda4 and realized that the internal zip drive should be made access hdd4 all went well. Now that you all know the secret and can laugh at the stupidity of one other, everyone can be happy. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
