Here is one more problem I identified. I have an NEC built ZIP 100 ATAPI
drive in my computer. OS is Windows XP Pro with SP1. The ZIP drive works
just fine - except... If I insert a formerly recorded ZIP disk that is
formatted as FAT, then XP does not recognize it as formatted media. If I
boot the same system to Windows 98, the media is recognized just fine. The
very strange thing is that if I take the same media to my work computer that
is running the same version of XP, the disk is read just fine. The work
computer, however, has a ZIP 250 drive in it. I suspect that the problem is
with the drivers for the ZIP drive. Anyone else run into something like
this?
