This isn't very practical in the long term, as I probably will forget to reset it when I don't need hfs formated Zip disks anymore, but there it is. I realize tht this comes some time after my original posting, so I include that below. Cheers, Brian "I am trying to access an HFS formated Zip drive at /dev/sda4. I invoked "hmount /dev/sda4" from root, exited the console, and clicked on the Zip drive icon on my KDE 2.2.1 desktop. The following error popped up: "Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified." What am I doing wrong and how can I get HFS formatted Zip drives to mount automagically on my desktop the same way I can with DOS/Win formatted Zip drives? I am using SuSE 7.3 Pro."
