The previous disk looked fine under Windows 2000, but I tried a new disk and was able to mount it with the following command:<br><br># mount /dev/sdb4 /media/zip<br><br>David Chipman's fdisk command is also enlightening.<br><br># /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sdb<br><br>Disk /dev/sdb: 250 MB, 250640384 bytes<br>64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 239 cylinders<br>Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes<br><br> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System<br>/dev/sdb4 * 1 239 244720 6 FAT16<br><br>For the record, mine is a 250 MB zip drive that connects through the USB port. I guess that makes it a SCSI drive.<br><br>Thanks for everyone's help!<br></div></div><br> <hr size=1>Have a burning question?
