-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Then why are you using /dev/sda4 to access the drive? Those are only for parallel port drives. First, you need to find out what your machine is seeing the zip drive as. Type dmesg |more and look through the output for your zip drive. Mine looks like the following: hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive In this case, my zip drive is accessed as /dev/hdd. So, if I have a mount point called /mnt/zip, I would do: mount /dev/hdd /mnt/zip to mount the drive.
