Run fdisk on a zip, and print the partition table. The
pre-formatted(FAT) disks all seem to have the single partition defined in
table position 4. Go figure. If you re-partition and format them with
ext2, you're free to define them in any position you like. Just remember
to mount the partition you defined...
I'm not sure it was in this thread, or on another list, but I saw it
reported recently that the 'Zip Tools' disk has partition 1 formatted as
FAT, so if you want to mount that one, you have to moount /dev/sda1 not
/dev/sda4.
