Would you post the output of the following commands after putting a disk in the drive:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
cdrecord -scanbus
sudo fdisk -l
I don't know where my zip drive is? Please help me find. It works in windows.

I don't see the zip drive or my floppy drive, both of which I can't get to work.
Hmm, didn't help much. Can you see anything about it getting detected in dmesg? How about trying to bootup with a disk in the drive. Is the disk you used formatted?
Cannot see anything from dmesg. I've tried to boot with a disk in and nothing. It is IBM formatted.
Well, as I don't have one of these I'm just grasping at straws here but how is it connected to your computer? I think different types use different modules.
You could try this:
mkdir /mnt/zip
modprobe ppa
modprobe imm
mount /dev/??? /mnt/zip (you have to find out the device from /var/log/messages or syslog after modprobing)
I did all the above. When I did modprobe imm the drive ran and clicked but nothing else. How do I find out the device from /var/log.....? I don't exactly know. I did create device from right clicking and had it point to /dev/zip. When I click on the icon it says can't find /dev/zip in fstab or mtab. Is that a step that is needed for this to work, creating an entry in fstab?
I take it that you created a desktop icon? The device isn't "zip", it's what you created as mountpoint with mkdir /mnt/zip.I did create device from right clicking and had it point to /dev/zip
After modprobing you can see if it's attached to sda? device, one of the following should find it:
grep sda /var/log/messages
dmesg|grep sda
You could also try sdb, sdc, hdb or hdc.....
You can test it as root with, say: mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
When you find the device you can add a line to fstab, otherwise only root can mount it. Example if the device is sda4:
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat defaults,noauto,users,noatime,umask=000 0 0
Best to try mounting it as root first so you'll see if it works, then worry about permissions.
When I grep sda /var/log/messages:
date knoppix kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
knoppix kernel: sda: cache data unavailable
knoppix kernel: sda: sda4
knoppix kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi2, chan0, id6,lun 0
Is that saying it is scsi2 or or what is that telling me?
Do I add /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat defaults,noauto,users,noatime,unmask=000 0 0 to my fstab?
When i mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device
Is this because no entry in fstab?
It's telling you the device is /dev/sda4Originally Posted by rrfish72
Entries in fstab are mainly for giving permissions and parameters to mount devices, add the line to give users the right to use it.Do I add /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat defaults,noauto,users,noatime,unmask=000 0 0 to my fstab?
Try first to mount it as root and specifying the filesystem if it's not detected: mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zipWhen i mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device
Is this because no entry in fstab?
You can also check the filesystem used on the ZIP drive with: fdisk -l
