Zip Drive - Where is it?

[Markus]

Here is the oputput of sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip:

mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device

Try checking the filesystem with fdisk -l if it's not vfat. Try also fdisk /dev/sda to see if it can be opened.
You can also check /dev/sda4 with la /dev/sda4 so it's not symlinked somewhere. It should look something like this:
root@fujibox:~# la /dev/sda4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Nov 14 2003 /dev/sda4

This is done with a data disc in. Do I have to anything special to try to open it or read the disc like open with or just click on the icon?

Best try to mount it from root console first, then worry about creating an icon for user.

Part of my fstab:

/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat defaults,noatuo,users,noatime,umask=000 0 0

Slight typo there, should be noauto.

Did you create /mnt/zip with mkdir /mnt/zip?
Also if you rebooted after modprobing you have to modprobe again. I don't know what alias a ZIP drive needs so you could just add modprobe imm or insmod imm at the end of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh to avoid having to do it manually after rebooting.
