I had a system crash and after a reinstall Problems with the Zip Drive. The Zip Drive 100 was working before the crash. Now when I try to mount the Zip DriveI get the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > mount /zip mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /zip [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/clay > mount /zip mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?) What has to be done to get the kernel to recognize the Zip Drive as a block device? The permission for /dev/sda1 was chaged from group disk to users and I am in the users group.
