Hi, Roy. Well, we have found your problem. IDE drives are not the same as external drives. All you need to do with internal zip drives is point mount or your fstab file to one of your hard drive controlers and partition 4. For example if the zip is slaved to a cd drive it will be /dev/hdd4. If slaved to your hard drive it would be /dev/hdb4. It is simply a matter of knowing if the drive is slaved, and if it is on the primary or secondary IDE controler. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roy Nickelson" <roylee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 9:16 PM Subject: Re: zip drive > hi, > it is internal it is an ide drive. > Roy
