And, Windoze will ONLY work if the 4th partition is used as a Windoze
partition.
Why the Hell did you screw with the partition table in the first place?
There is no need for that if you keep it as a Windoze partition. If you
make it a Linux filesystem, Windoze definately isn't going to be able to
see or use it.
No need to make it a Linux partition/file system either. Zip discs, as
Windoze discs, are perfectly happy under Linux, especially is you use
mtools to read and write them. Don't mount them, as it screws up the
Windoze long file names. Use mtools.
