Hey, if the zip-drive has been working under windows, (you say
reinstall win-2000) then the filesystem is quite possably vfat
(fat32).

So its only to be expected that mount says bad superblock, or
something along thoses lines.

mount -t vfat /dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip

Now you say primary slave, why is it then /dev/hdb4 and not /dev/hdb1
??
