How do you access a zip drive that was installed after linux was installed? I installed RH 6.2 awhile ago and just installed a zip drive today. The system detected it at bootup, but what do I do to access within KDE desktop. I take it that I need to mount it, but what is the command for zip drives?

I'm assuming it's an ATAPI (IDE) Zip drive.....

You need to mount hdX4, where X is the drive designator of the Zip device.

X=a if primary master
X=b if primary slave
X=c if secondary master
X=d if secondary slave

If I recall correctly
