This one works fine as /dev/sda4

Okay, that it will not work if it is not formated as ext2is okay but should it than not inform you that it could not find the zipdisk or that the format was not recognised like with cd's? Have no empty zip disks on which I could try it out. Right now it starts Konquerer and starts looking on the web ;-) if I try it out with a DOS zipdisks.
Yes, I agree: that's a funny move of konq and sorry, I don't know what causes this. It should say something like: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device. Marcel
