/dev/hda stands for the first drive on channel 1 of your IDE or E-IDE
controller
/dev/hda4 stands for partition 4 on /dev/hda
The zip disk comes from the factory with a partition (#4) set up.
You can remove the partition or change it just like a hard drive.
FOR PROOF DO:
umount it and do
fdisk /dev/hda
p (PRINT partition table TO SCREEN)
q (quit)
