Zip PC disks come from the factory with a VFAT filesystem on partition 4 (e.g. hdd4). If you used to address it as hdd, I guess you used to use ide_floppy but no longer have that in your kernel. With a single partition, you might get away with trying to mount it as hdd4, or you might not (it's years since I tried ide_floppy, and quite a long time since I used my zip disks, but my memory is that ide_floppy appeared to see all the data (from hdd1, in my case, because I repartitioned with fdisk before running mke2fs).
