Zip drives have a habit of being useful via partition 4.
the command you want would be, `mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /[mount point]`
change the [mount point] to where you wish to mount the drive, I use
/mnt/zip. Also, change the type from 'vfat' to the relevant fs type. I
imagine that to begin with, your disks would have been formatted in
windows.
