The dmesg output you pasted above shows the zip drive on hdd. As
root try running "mount /dev/hdd /mnt/zip". If that works, you'll need
to change the sda4 in your fstab entry to hdd.
If that doesn't work, you may want to run "fdisk /dev/hdd" as root to
see if the disk is partitioned weird and then add the appropriate
partition number to your mount command/fstab entry (hdd1, hdd2, etc.).

If dmesg is showing that it's already been setup on /dev/hdd, you
shouldn't need to load any more modules... except maybe fat or vfat, but
that would be a totally different error from what you pasted above.
