[Bug 77369] Re: zip drive fails to mount

[Troy Hepfner]

That doesn't make sense. Other distros that I routinely install, like 
SUSE 10, detect the zip drive without any problem. (And its the exact 
same computer - I'm using a computer that has a swappable hard drive, 
and I'm always switching between hard drives with different OS's 
installed on them.) Because other OS's, including Windows and other 
Linux distros, detect and use the zip drive fine, I know the zip drive 
is seated properly on the motherboard.

Are you saying I need to have a zip disk in the zip drive during 
installation?
