/dev/zip is just a symbolic link to /dev/sda4. This link was created
by Mandrake by installing the system.

You are right of course! I just typed it wrong. This is what happens:
***
[root@thor working]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda4,
or too many mounted file systems

I'm not sure, but it seems that it does not affect it.
What should I do in order to get my Zip working??
Again, thanks a lot for your help!
