Your system still sees the drive as hdd (i.e. IDE, I guess you
don't need the scsi emulation)

The disk doesn't look like ext2 formatted, or it's not inserted.
Not a problem yet.

Insert a dos formatted disk and run "fdisk /dev/hdd". What is the
"p" command returning?
Insert a blank disk. Run "fdisk /dev/hdd". Delete all partitions
if any, then create a primary partition, and tag it 83 (Linux
native). The "p" command should return something like (the
numbers may not match):
Disk /dev/hdd: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 96 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id
System
/dev/hdd1 1 1 81 82928 83
Linux native
^^^^^^^^^ first column
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 3rd column in /etc/fstab are dictated by these.
Run "mke2fs -c /dev/hdd1".
Check that you have the /zip directory, and "mount /zip". Should
work. Check it with "df -a".
Give me results, as I don't have the ZIP drive on my home
machine.
