If the details of my old system match yours, then the above command is exactly how to do it. If the details vary, then you'll have to adjust for that. -D -- One OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Redmond, where the Shadows lie. www: http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

What type of zip drive is it? Internal IDE, Parallel, SCSI, or USB? If you're using a stock Debian kernel you shouldn't need to do any recompiling. You'll just need to load the appropriate modules. Once you've got that done, you just need to mount partition 4 for the appropriate device. (i.e. if you're using an IDE zip drive, you'd mount /dev/hdc4, assuming that the drive is hdc of course.) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
