Thanks. I downloaded the driver to my R/W disk- unfortunately that did not work well when I tried to install the driver. I am not able to delete the file from the R/W disk as I get a message "Cannot delete ioware-32-x86-402: Files on this CD-Rom Drive are Read Only. You cannot copy or move files over to this CD-Rom Drive" Another problem to deal with....what is the use having a R/W Drive if you can not copy or move files to and from it? So I downloaded ioware-w32-x86-402.exe from iomega.com and saved it to my documents and installed it from there- I now have ZIP 100 (F:) Now I just have to find some excuse on using the zip drive. I do know in the past I have tried to copy a file to the disk and I was getting the message not enough room using my A: 1.44 MB All of you guys are "GREAT" Linda -------Original Message------- From: Donk Date: 08/14/08 17:40:38 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Re: Iomega Zip Drive Did you say your zip drive had a parallel port interface? Yeah that's really old technology - but it might still maybe work with XP if you found XP drivers for it? If so, install the drivers first. Then go to Device Manager and look under the "Ports" category. You should see an LPT port listed there (also called the printer port). Verify that it says it is working properly. If it still isn't recognized in My Computer you might have to change the resources for the LPT port. Go back into Device Manager and click on the Port again. This time click on the "Resources" tab. There are 2 things you can try: 1. put a check in the circle for "Use any interrupt assigned to the port". Reboot and see if the drive is recognized. 2. put a check in the circle for "enable legacy plug-n-play detection". Reboot and see if the drive is found. As long as you found the right XP drivers for the drive it should work ok.
