Zip drive

[Mr K]

Hi,
Hope someone can help.
I have a dozen or so zip media writen with FAT format.
When I try to read them on an XP system I get a Not
Formatted error.

Is your drive being recognized properly by XP? Check in Device Manager
(Right click My computer, Left click Properties, hardware, Device Manager)
to see of there is any yellow ! next to the zip drive information.

They should be able to be read by XP unless you don't have a hardware
problem or installation problem. Try the disk in another zip drive to check
out the hardware problem.

Although I can't help you I can assure you that ZIP disks formatted in
FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS are perfectly readable by XP. Didn't even need any
drivers for the old recyled internal ATAPI model I stuck in this new
comp. Is that the type of ZIP drive you have by the way?
