I have an iomega 100mg zip drive, and for soem reason windows xp pro will not recognize it as being attached. The drive works perfectly under Red Hat 8.0 but windows doesnt think it exsits... does anybody know why this is? any idea how to fix it?

thanx
 
Hmmm, when I was using windows xp, it detected my Zip drive just fine. How's the drive setup in your BIOS?
 
Early revisions of ZIP drives will NOT work in XP for some odd reason. I think it has to do with the drives firmware.. I myself have an early ZIP100 siting in the closet that is not detectable by XP, but works with every other OS under the sun(Even works in a Mac). Somehow, you will have to upgrade the firmware(If that is even possible) or get a new one. They're pretty cheap nowadays.

Do you mean what "about" Iomegaware? As in try installing it? I really don't think that will help his situation, and you really shouldn't need Iomegas' software. Not anymore anyway with an internal drive.

 
What kind of Zip drive is it? Is this a parrallel, IDE, or SCSI? I would go to Iomega's website and look up your model for XP compatibility. Then look for updated drivers. I know I had some problems back when NT 4 first released because the parrallel model wasn't compatible with the kernel until they wrote drivers for it. Check into that. 😉
