| 14496 | 2001-06-22 23:01:00 | When I connect my Zip drive (parallel port) Windows Explorer won't recognise my CD ROM drive as E:. I can change drive letters in the hardware profiles so that the CD drive is recognised (as D:), but then the Zip drive isn't listed. It seems that Windows Explorer is only listing up to drive D:. I have checked config.sys for LastDrive=z; that's OK. Under DOS all drives are present - for example, Zip is drive D: and CD is drive E:. I have tried altering MSCDEX to set the CD drive as G: but to no avail. Once I have used drive D:, that's it. How can I get Explorer to list all my attached drives? What's going on here? Is my computer intellectually handicapped? |

The company would not provide one as they said that at present ME does not support ZIP drives other than USB versions. Have a look at ZIPs website (presumably www.iomega.com)to see if they have put out a revised driver yet. HTH Graham Bockett |

| 14498 | 2001-06-23 04:57:00 | Iomega Zip have a habit of pinching the CD ROM drive letter when installed. Have a look at www.iomega.com/support/documents/10123.html This covers WIN 98/95, assume there is a similar doc for WIN ME If you are on network putting last drive as z means you cannot access any network drive.See Zip Help Manual, my ancient manual is section 4.1.3, pages 36 onwards.Frank |
