I don't know how to edit the fstab to add the Zip drive (/dev/hdf) to it. Below is the text of the fstab (my system is a dual boot with WinXP Home SP2):
/dev/hdb3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/sda1 /windows/E vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda5 /windows/F vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda6 /windows/G ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda7 /windows/H ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 /dev/hdb2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0

Now then, which one is the Zip drive in that lot? I wonder if it's /dev/sda1 ?
No, it's not there. sda1 (Win drive E) is a logical partition (for data sharing) on the first hard drive that is formatted FAT 32.
If so try changing it to this:
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip250.0 vfat noauto,user 0 0
If you know that sda1 is not the Zip drive then perhpas add the whole of that line in to the end of your fstab file.
OK, but why would it be /dev/sda4 rather than /dev/hdf that was in the hardware list? Or does it not make any difference?
Whatever you do make sure you have a copy of the file before making any changes. I may have something totally wrong and I don't want you to mess your file up because of one of my suggestions.
Will do. Thanx. Kelly
