Did you use NT to format the disks? You might have an ntfs on them in
which case you have to include provisions for ntfs in a kernel compile.
Also you can attempt mounting the disk by hand using different file
systems.
mount -t msdos /dev/hdc /mnt/zip
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt/zip
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc /mnt/zip
I think that win95 and 98 both have built in provisions for reading NT
file systems.
