Mounting 250mb Zip Drive (Internel)
Howdy; Im trying to mount my Zip drive, but its just not working. Ive tried: mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/zip1/ mount /dev/ide/ /mnt/zip1/ mount /dev/scsi/ /mnt/zip1/ mount /dev/hdb /mnt/zip1/ I was looking in the archive and found a few posts, but the hdb4 dir was not in the dev dir which was recommended by a user to use to mount the zip drive from. Post can be found here (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200301/msg02811.html) Its just a basic 250mb zip drive which is on the same IDE ribbon cable as the cdrom. Can anyone suggest any ideas? Thank you! Alex Togstad Web Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Custom Built Servers the way you want them. Ask me for a free quote!!

ItÂ’s just a basic 250mb zip drive which is on the same IDE ribbon cable as the cdrom. Are you using scsi-emulation? If not, then your drive will be in /dev/hddevice_numberanother_number As you say it's on the same cable as the cdrom, it will be c or d If your cd-rom is /dev/hdc, your zip will be /dev/hdd Check for messages about those devices in `dmesg` or /var/log/kernel. You'll find the wanted info over there. Now, if you have scsi-emulation... how is your cdrom device called? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Mark was right, it was in /dev/hdd. So I just had to mount /dev/hdd /mnt/zip1 And it worked like a charm!!

The device is probably /dev/hdd, then, so try /dev/hdd4. Also, to see the partition table, use 'fdisk /dev/hdd' and print the table. You should be able to see hdd somewhere in dmesg. If not, you may not have built the necessary kernel modules. -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
