hmm, from what i read zip disks have only one partition on them but it is 
always number four, for some sort of compatibility reasons, i'd suggest 
making sure you have a backup of what's on it because i'm not sure that you 
should have that result, perhaps backing up in winxp and then making a 
filesystem on it using linux and seeing if that can be read by winxp,
you can use fdisk to delete all partitions on it, then create just one, 
specifying its number as four, give it an id of 'c' for fat32, then make a 
filesystem on it:
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda4
see if this shows up in winxp
i'm afraid that apart from this i'm all out of ideas

bascule
