removable disks under Windows 95
Symptom:
Removable storage media in Zip- or Jazz-drives or similar devices
can't be mounted under Linux after a preparation of the media under Windows 95.
Windows device drivers were used instead of the manufacturers drivers.
Cause:
Windows 95 doesn't use standard partition tables for these removable devices.
Solution:
- Boot the system under Linux without a medium being inserted, then enter
the storage medium into the drive.
- Erase the partition table using Linux-
fdisk
.
- Create a new one again with Linux-
fdisk
.
