How did you create the ext2 file system there? I can't create ext2 on /dev/hdd1 if only the partition 4 is in the Zip's partition table:
# fdisk -l /dev/hdd
Disk /dev/hdd: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 239 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd4 1 239 244720 6 FAT16
# mke2fs /dev/hdd1 mke2fs 1.24a (02-Sep-2001) mke2fs: Device size reported to be zero. Invalid partition specified, or partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to reboot to re-read your partition table.
Are you sure the ext2 isn't on hdd4?
linux:/home/micaye # fdisk -l /dev/hdd Disk /dev/hdd: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 96 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd1 1 96 98288 83 Linux I deleted partition 4 and added a new partition 1 and then did mke2fs /dev/hdd1 and it worked .
