I belive you need a SCSI zip drive not IDE.

it's not about that dog, i got a scsi hard drive, i am just trying to get this zip situation str8 cause its frustrating as hell

I must not have made myself clear. Go to this link:

this has alot of useful answers.

napoe,
something is wrong with your ide connector inside the mpc. i remember your last post about it. i think alot of people already suggested to you that you try an external zip. if not, that is my suggestion. get an external scsi zip. do you have a 2000XL or not? the internal zip will not work in the nonXL. an external zip (scsi) is way easier to hook up too, just plugNplay.

it's cool i fixed the problem, thanks ron and brainwash for the input

Same exact thing happened to me and I just went and bought an external. If you figured it out what was goin on??

i installed the latest os and set the drive to master
