You don't need to reboot, you can do a 'mount -a' to mount all entries in

Hi Marcia. Did you creat a mount point in /mnt? It should be
/mnt/zip
Here is the line from /etc/fstab file for my internal zip drive:
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zipvfatuser,noauto 0 0
Are you able to mount the zip drive via the commandline?
In an X terminal type mount /mnt/zip
if that does not work, try mount /dev/hdxx /mnt/zip
where 'xx' means the number and letter designation
of the ide interface that the zip is connected to.

It must have been something like that... I deleted the desktop icons,
and made new kdelink files and it works now.
th
Kirkmy guess would be that you have supermount enabled and
supermount desktop icons don't have this option.

I had to reinstall my Mandrake system. Before, I could unmount my Zip
drive by right-clicking and selecting Unmount. This option is no longer
there. How do I get it back?

I am using the parrallel Zip Drive under Mandrake 7. Works just like it's
supposed to, by doing:

And to eject/insert another disk:
umount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip

Yeah, I tried the mini-HOWTO for the zip drive a couple of months ago when I was
trying to get my parallel port zip going, and I found that the mini-HOWTO is
OUTDATED. I spent several days trying to do exactly what it said, trying to
recompile the kernel, reinstalling the whole system (mdk 6.1)..

Well, I tried that. Here's what I got after typing "insmod ppa":
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Any ideas? I really want to get this thing resolved.

This is what worked for me:
As su in a terminal window:
mkdir /mnt/zip
insmod parport
insmod ppa
mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
make sure there is a disk in. You have to umount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
to eject the disk, then mount -t msdos /dev/sda
