There was an excellent help a while back on this list. Look in the archives and search under "zip" and you should find the answers I used to set up my zip drive. I would give you the data now but am at work on a win machine and don't have the access. Just in case you don't know you can find the archives on the Mandrake webpage that has mail lists, its down near the bottom of the page http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3 . If you can't find it come back to this thread and tonight I will dig up the data and put it on the e-mail again. Dennis

If your disk is VFAT, Linux will think the fs is on partition 4. So you need
to set up your fstab to look for (frinstance) /dev/hdc4.
