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.
