Hi All, I recently got my zip drive back after lending it to a friend for a few months and in the meantime I had reinstalled ML8.1 so the system doesn't recognise the drive anymore. Its a parallel port 250MB.
There is both sda and sda4 listed under /dev/. I created a mount point for the zip drive (/mnt/zip) and tried # mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip/ but got the error message: mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device I looked in diskdrake but the zip drive is not listed under "removable media". Can anyone tell me how to manually install the zip drive without having to reinstall the system? I don't understand mknod or MAKEDEV and I certainly don't know anything about major and minor. Perahps if I knew what major and minor to use I could try mknod. I am using the 2.4.16.3mdk-1-1mdkenterprise kernel. Any help much appreciated. TIA skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
