Ok. This question was triggered off by this - the current entry in my
/etc/fstab for my zip drive reads:
-----------
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip vfat noauto,rw,user,nosuid,sync
-----------
and I can mount all the zip drives my colleagues give me. It used to read:
-----------
/dev/hdd /mnt/zip vfat noauto,rw,user,nosuid,sync
-----------
and the mount failed. Why is that? What partitions do I have on a zipdisk
that is formatted in Windoze?
