Can't boot with out a disk in usb zip drive

[Bushwicktrini]

I can't not seem to get my wife's comp to boot to win2k I can get into safe mode but that's it inless I put a disk in the zip drive. I don't have it mounted as a fixed drive so I don't know what the hell is going on:| I cleared my startup folder of all things zip related and shut the system down after ejecting the disk from the drive but still I can't boot with out a disk in the drive.

Sys Spec:
PIII 700
Win2k sp2
P3V4X bios 1005 via 4n1 4.37
512 micron pc133 ram

Edit: Nevermind. The problem I was thinking about was similar but it was for internal drives.

can you boot without the drive connected to your system?
what is your bios set to in boot order?

My boot order is Floppy,cd,HDD and yes I can boot without it connected but I use it alot as part of my sneakernet (haven't gotten around to running cat5 to wifes pc) so I just like to keep it connected. I'm going to uninstalled the latest drivers from iomega and use the genric drivers provided my M$

try booting into safe mode then uninstalling/reinstalling all zip related stuff (drivers, and the iomega ware stuff) using the latest drivers from iomega.com

I am using the latest drivers from iomega and this is the problem they gave me so they are outta here and back to the native drivers for me 🙂
