Haven't used my Zip drive since installing eComStation 1.1 and now want to use it for storing data. However I am unable to access it. I'm sure the driver was installed with eCs. I then thought that I might have to use LVM to make the Zip drive a volume, but can't see any way to do this. When I open the drives folder there's a Refresh removable media icon but clicking on it doesn't do anything. How can I get the Zip drive recognised?

Do you have a zip cartridge in the drive when you click on the "Refresh Removable" icon? Then it may be a case of re-installing the driver software.

Make sure you download the latest USB support from the ecomstation website using eCSMT. There were some big improvements in the drivers issued by IBM last November. -- Regards, Mike Failed the exam for -------------------- MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert -------------------- [ISP blocks *.exe attachments] [Please use zipped versions of above] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
