Problem on internal ZIP drive (some mode changed?)

I got a funny problem on my LINUX (SUSE 8.0 and 8.2), using a 100MB internal ZIP drive.
I have a Win2000 and a LINUX on the same disk (and of course same machine).
First everything worked fine. (I had SUSE 8.0 then).
Then I forgot a ZIP medium in the drive when I rebooted the machine with Win2000. Then Win2000 detected the medium and did a disk scan on it. It thought appearently to repair something and wrote such a text file on the zip medium. And it seems that it changed also some mode of the **drive**.
After that point, I could not work with the zip drive under LINUX - independet of the medium. Also a complete reinstall of LINUX SUSE 8.2 did not change that. At the same time, the access to the drive in Win2000 is normal, without problems.
I tried the original medium and other media on another LINUX (however with an external ZIP drive) - that works fine.
Has anybody an idea what to do?
 
please post your /etc/fstab file to see if your Zip drive is listed there...
