Hey dude. Read the ZIP-Drive mini howto again.
Mounting a partition will yeild better results than attemtping to
mount the raw device. Dunno why its like this, it just is. Have
fun.
# From the HOWTO:
5.2. An existing DOS formatted disk
If you have a ZIP disk with a DOS file structure that was originally
created by Iomega's tools, the partition scan should say that the disk
has one partition, /dev/sda4.
You should make a place to mount the disk, lets say /zip, and then
mount it as an MS-DOS filesystem:
mkdir /zip
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /zip
