zip drive errors

[Michael]

Justin,   the disks I've been trying to read have info written on them from
various windows sessions and are IBM formatted as per the label. I'm
figuring that I should still be able to read them as I can read floppy disks
that have been used in windows. I will try a blank disk and give
fdisk/dev/hdd a shot when my wife is done using my machine for her work. As
for creating a FAT partition on partition 4, do you mean the zip disk
itself?

Mike
