Hey Y'all,
I'm running mdk 6.1 with an external zip100, and for me the fstab entry is not
hdd, but 'sda4' and instead of vfat it has 'auto'. This works perfectly for me.
Not sure if it's different in mdk 7 or if that's really more of an arbitrary
name, but if you haven't tried it yet, might give it a shot?
