This first part I needed to get my zip partitions to work
properly. Before I did this it generated tons of I/0 errors
I suceeded in putting an ext2 filessytem on the
zip drive. Below are the solutions I combined
to solve the problem incase anyone else wants
to do it. I have an atapi ide internal zip drive on
hdb

Then following Jeff Graves advice
I tried using cfdisk to change file
system type on hdb4 to a linux
filesystem leaving everything the
same. I wrote the new partition
table. Then I typed
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb4
I can now mount it and write to it
or use cpio with it successfully.
Thank you everyone
