Did you make a filesystem on the zip disk?? -- "mkfs /dev/hdc1"

Linux should detect your zip drive when it boots. 
When I boot up, my computer sees the zip drive as hdd. It mounts it as
the first partition on that drive. Here is the command:

mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/zip

I made the /mnt/zip directory using mkdir. To unmount the zip drive, I
use:

umount /dev/hdd1

  I am also having trouble getting my cdrom to eject cd's under linux
mandrake.
adios, Steve Winston

[newbie] Zip question

[JM]

I installed an internal zip drive (ATAPI).  I can use only a preformated
zip.  Other zip disks I use give me the message I can't read superblock
or I have to specify the file system (depending what i did on the fstab
i guess)

How do i edit the fstab? do i have to do anything else?
Also, the cdrom does not eject unless i log out from KDE.

Thanks
