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:

  1. Boot the system under Linux without a medium being inserted, then enter the storage medium into the drive.

  2. Erase the partition table using Linux-fdisk.

  3. Create a new one again with Linux-fdisk.
