Hi, Has anybody managed to convince their zip drive to use the first primary partition under 8.1 ? And if so how ?
Just did: it took my five minutes, including the time to plug in the unit O:-)
I have tried everything I could find and it still stubbornly refuses to use anything but the fourth partition . Any help would be appreciated .
In my case (it is an external paralell por unit): modprobe imm mount /media/zip fdisk -p /dev/sda nimrodel:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 239 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 239 244735+ 83 Linux My fstab has this entries (carried from suse 7.3): /dev/sda1 /media/zip auto defaults,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/sda4 /media/zip2 auto defaults,noauto,user,exec 0 0 -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
