Cant read Zip disk on computer?

Yo, I got a zip internal disk drive for my PC and a Zip drive to ma 2000xl.

The problem is I cant view the content of the zip on the computer. I save a wav on the disk from the MP but windows keep sayin that the zip aint formated.

It all worked before, then I put in a new harddrive and it stopped workin. Windows finds the drive and everything.

peace.

i always had to format the zips in the pc
does your new setup have the iomega software installed on it? not sure if that will help or not. just an idea

nop no omega software, but I havent had that before so...

what program ya talking bout?

peace

anyone? cant get it to work..

did you format the zip on your mpc ? What os are you running on the mpc ?

yes i did it on the mpc.

I got the latest os

I cant read the disk in windows, it only says that its not formated

When you say latest os is that 1.14 or 1.20 ?

I got the 1.14

That explains it all, a zip formatted on an os 1.14 mpc can't be read on a pc (xp) you need to format the zip on the pc that way it can both be read/written by the pc and the MPC.

ok thx!

but how do I do that?

put the zip disk in the mpc and hold down the shift button the press 3 (load) at the bottom of the screen it has a format option with the F3 button

I can format the disk in the mpc, but the problem is that I cant read it on the PC then, and I cant download the new OS because I cant read PC formated disk on my mpc.. so im in shit :-p

is there anyway to get the new os or reading mpc formated disks on xp wothout needing to install another windows version, I got XP.

oh my bad, i misread your post. format the zip disk in your pc but you must format using Fat32 not NTFS
