I don't know what to tell you after that, something else is going on there, I used to format my zips in my pc using fat/fat16 in the internal 250 zip drive, I'd then save some 44khz/16bit waves on it, take it to my 2kxl internal 250 zip, load it and it was fine. If something other than that is happening then something is wrong with your zip disk or your drive seems like..

it all worked fine before, then I installed a new HD on my computer, and now it doesent, but it fineds the zip and everything.


so is the problem just that I have and old OS then or what?
