However, this is the right partition for a vfat formatted zip disk.
It depends on how the zip disk was formatted. By default most are formatted as hard disk and use the 4th partition (hdX4). But you can also format them as super floppy (hdX) or use the first partition (hdX1).

So it doesnot depend on how it is formatted and it's partitions etc. So far as I know suse is the only os to manage this. Chris
