222323 2004-03-13 12:35:00 I have zip drives on two computers. One runs Win ME, the other Win XP. Some zip disks prepared on the ME computer are not readable on my XP computer. I just keep being asked to insert disk into Drive D.
Any ideas?

Pretty sure there are instructions in checking discs and drives
Have you tried transferring all the contents of a nonreadable disk to a readable disk and seeing if it will open in XP?. Then reformat the non readable disc, enter some files and see if it will open in XP. I have Zip 100 disks that are still working OK after about 8 years as a 2nd backup.
