It is possible that the zip disk is not set up to use partition 4 (though that is the expected behavior), or perhaps you have some other SCSI devices so the zip drive is sdb." No response to fdisk -l /dev/sda or sdb, in fact fdisk -l only lists /dev/hda & hdb. "Is the disk set up to be ext2, or is it DOS formatted?" ext2, I only use Linux. Thanks for the suggestions.
