Maybe if you make the line look as follows it'll help:
/dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip/ vfat user,noauto,rw 0 0
Adding the "rw" seems like it SHOULD permit writing. The
problem is that Windows/Dos doesn't recognize permissions
and thus won't accept attempts to write permissions.
One other way around this is to use MTOOLS, which is
specifically designed to let you write files to a VFAT
FS w/o problems. Tools like mcopy, mmove, etc.
