When I do a: mount /zip
I get: mount: /dev/hdd1: can't read superblock
Same thing happens when I try a Dos Zip disk.
The fstab entry for the Zip drive is:
/dev/hdd1 /zip ext2 noauto,user,defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd4 /dos/zip vfat noauto,user,defaults 0 0
I've tried to fdisk hdd, sda, sdb, sdc and sdd, all to no avail.
Any ideas on what it is going to take to get this beast working?
Thanks.
