Does anybody know a way to extract information from a
Zip 100 cartridge which refuses to mount? I have tried
several drives and in each I get: "Click... Click...
Click... Click... would you like to initialize this
disk?"
Norton 6 does not seem to see it unless there is a
trick I don't know to force it!
I would hate to think the information is in there but irretrievable.
Sounds like the click of death, which means the DRIVE is dying or  
has died.

My wife's 7220 (4400) has problems with some floppies, even after I
format them on my 9600, her machine says they are unreadable, do I
want to initialize them? So false error messages can occur too.
Hi all;
 Try this.
 Shut down the Mac, let everything stop. Bootup the Mac and at the  
same
time press and hold the eject button on the front of the Zip until  
the Mac
has completely finished booting.
 This resets the heads in the drive. I've had to do this on my Zip a  
couple
of times for the same problem. It's worked for a couple of others on  
the
Lists also. HTH

I have a Zip Drive that doesn't seem to want to mount the disk or give  
me a
Click Click, instead it makes a sort of whirring sound. Does anyone  
have a
clue about this?
