Well i know that if you run a zip disk over a degausser it
destroys it. Are you able to format them as windows after you've
erased the partition and made it linux? I have a feeling that by
erasing those partitions and recreating them as ext2 you were in
effect "degaussing" them. See if you can format it in windows. If
you can then i'm wrong, if not then try just reformatting the
windows partition linux. Good luck.

Hi,
I don't know what I am doing wrong. I tried
it with an old disk that I know works fine on
windows and got the exact same errors.
Zip disks are rather expensive to trash
so I may have to give up on this idea.
yet I have no trouble mounting vfat zipdisks
and reading or writting them. I am sure I
have missed something stupid, maybe
tomorrow it will work better.
Thanks
Linda
