After purchasing an Iomega Parallel Zip 250, and connected it to a system running WIn XP Pro, and set the parallel settings in bios to normal, (EPP or ECP stops the right click menu from showing the Iomegaware), and downloading and installing the latest Iomegaware software, there is no problem with the drive or drivers, but I would like to know if there's some software somewhere, that can compress a zip disk?, and also I can not create a bootable disk from either winxp or 98, plus, is there a way that I can create a self starting menu system on the zip disk, so that when the disk is inserted it'll show the menu system to choose what software to run?
