have you tried
shell> mke2fs /dev/hdd4
??
and I'd actually check it is /dev/hdd4
as generally wouldn't it be /dev/hdd1 ??
but yeah whatever you mount to read the disk, just mke2fs it...
or if you still want winblows compatability just goto /mnt/zip or whever
you mount it and do a (be carefull with this command)
shell> rm * -fR
and you'll erase the disk leaving its current format untouched.
a ZIP drive is just a small portable hard drive... =)
