Pre-formatted Zip disks have 1 partition on them, this being partition 4
for some reason.. therefore to mount it, you will need to do something
along the lines of: 'mount /dev/hdc4 /xxx' (where 'xxx' is the directory
you want it mounted in).

An fstab entry should look something like the following:

/dev/hdc4	/xxx	msdos	defaults	0 0

(at least, this is how mine looks)  Again,  where 'xxx' is the directory
you want it mounted in, and 'msdos' is the default filesystem on the disk.

Hope that this helps

Regards

Chris
