Did you use DiskCopy to make a disk image on the Zip disk ? If not, that may be the problem.

I would like to install Quark Xpress 3.31 on my B/W. Has anyone done it using a USB floppy drive? I tried copying the floppy image to a Zip disk but the machine read it as a mounted drive.
Any help is appreciated.
Initialize the ZIP disk properly.
Create DiskCopy-type images (.img, .dmg) of the installation floppies.
Copy the images to the ZIP disk.
Mount the ZIP disk on the target computer.
Mount each individual .img file.
Run the installer.
...The idea is to make the installer think there are n floppys already mounted. Using DiskCopy to make them ensures you get any invisible/cutecrap that Quark included to prevent you from doing this in the first place.
