Thanks again for your help.
I'll try these things out tonight (I'm not at my machine right now!) and let
you know how it goes.
I really appreciate your assistance!
Do you know anything about ZIP drives? See below... ;-)
I've got an internal ATAPI ZIP drive in my box (it's the SECOND device on
the SECOND IDE channel). It used to work just fine under 8.0, but since I
did a complete wipe-n-install of 8.1, it isn't recognized within Linux. The
drive powers during POST, so I know the connections are still good. I've got
a known good ZIP disk in the drive.
* Here is my entire FSTAB:

I've tried:
Mkdir /mnt/zip
Mount /mnt/zip /dev/hdd4 (harddrake reports the ZIP drive as HDD -- it's the
2nd device on the 2nd IDE channel) ...and I got this error:
"mount: /dev/hdd4 is not a block device"
...so I tried:
Mount /mnt/zip /dev/hdd
...and I got this error:
"mount: /dev/hdd is not a block device"

Any ideas? I hadn't noticed the /dev/ide/zip directory before, but it's
empty... Don't know how to proceed!
Some more information:
> mount -t vfat /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/p4 /mnt/zip

Tried the following, with a known-good ZIP disk in the drive:
root.drewvogel:~$ mount -t vfat /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/p4
/mnt/zip/
mount: special device /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/p4 does not exist
root.drewvogel:~$ cd /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0
root.drewvogel:/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0$ ls total 0
0 disc 0 part4 0 zip/
root.drewvogel:/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0$ mount -t vfat
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/zip /mnt/zip/
mount: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/zip is not a block device
root.drewvogel:/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0$
Stumped!
