O.K., tried setting up the zip drive and though all was well until it wouldn't mount. fatab entry looks like /dev/hdc4 /zip /vfat user, exec, dev, suid, rw, noauto 0 0 did a "ls -l /dev/hdc4" which returned "brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 4 Jan 19 03:36 /dev/hdc4" ^^^^^^^^^^^ this was light yellow in color then I did a "ln -s hdc4 Zip 250" and then created a desktop icon for it right clicking on the icon and selecting mount gives the following in xconsole: "linux kernel: fatfs: bogus cluster size linux kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS file system on dev 16:04" and a KDE error: "Error KDesktop Could not mount device mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc4, or too many mounted file systems" The zip drive works fine under windoze and I have not formatted it in any way; its just as it came out of the plastic. I'm sure my error is obvious to some, but I don't recognize it. How do I go about correcting what is wrong? Thanks, dave

/dev/hdc4 /zip /vfat user, exec, dev, suid, rw, noauto 0 0
try it without spaces in the options: /dev/hdc4 /zip /vfat user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 0 0

Thanks,
