This is with a disk formatted for ext2 and partition 1.
I'm surprised it works in 7.3 because the partition table says that only the partition 4 is on the Zip. IMHO the Zip can be partitioned as an ordinary HD. Use "fdisk" to delete the partition 4 and create a new primary partition 1. Then use "mke2fs /dev/hdd1" to create the ext2 file system there. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
