I did exactly as you said, but there still seems to be a problem I verified (cat) that the line you wanted added to /etc/fstab was there. ls /media doesn't list it. I've included the output below.
Thanks, -Joe

Make sure you have a formatted zip disk in the drive. As root, `cat /proc/diskstats` You should get lines like so: 8 1 sda1 44459 44781 0 0 8 2 sda2 643 2100 14 26 8 3 sda3 306 432 0 0 8 4 sda4 6 12 0 0 8 5 sda5 11390 135714 16218 129744 8 6 sda6 15558 248306 8625 69000 8 7 sda7 2809 110314 15318 122544 8 8 sda8 1088 9282 5918 47288 22 0 hdc 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22 64 hdd 4 15 152 258 0 0 0 0 0 258 258 One of these should represent your zip disk, should be sda4. Your hard drive is hda, your cdrom is either hdb, hdc, or hdd (aka cdrecorder). If you peek through these, you should be able to determine for sure that your zip drive is sda4. Try mounting with `mount -t vfat /media/zip` Is the drive showing any signs of life? Mark
