Re: Zip: what does that mean?
Greg, Just to make a point on that, as I recall Zip and other super floppy media *shouldn't* be partitioned. It's certainly possible to do but it's anyone's guess on how different OS+revs will treat it.

Thanks for your answer, in fact, there was a media in my zip, but without any partition (as I don't see any other reason than avoiding those errors messages to make just one partition on my disk).

Nothing. Somethings is reeding /proc/partitions which lists all known partitions. "fdisk" or "mount" do this. When reading the file the kernel has to check the media in your zip-drive. Problem is, you havn't put in one. So there is no partition table to read and the kernel complains and returns the default values of a typical 100MB zip media.
