I have to do this with every one of my drives. dvd,cd,floppy,zip, and get my scanner to work. So far I have dvd,cd working. Your help is appreciated with this zip issue.

root@1[knoppix]# modprobe imm
root@1[knoppix]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
root@1[knoppix]# mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
mount: /dev/sda4 already mounted or /mnt/zip busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda4 is already mounted on /mnt/zip

I guess that is good. Now here is what I get when I try to read the disc:

Access denied to /mnt/zip
