Zip 250 Drive Assignment Problem

[Redneck]

Reformatted my HD. Upon install for Internal Zip 250 it goes through the setup and shows the assigning drive procedure but does not allow me to assign a drive nor does it show one actually being assigned. In the properties for the reflected problem it acts like it needs a driver. However, I have tried to find a drive that might correct the problem on all of the disks that came with it, C drive, and also dl'd the driver set from Iomega and tried it without any success. I even changed my 2 CD drives to one up leaving a empty drive number to see if it might take the bait and use that one. I have uninstalled and installed the software numerous times. Am running Win 98SE, have 2 cd drives and portioned my hd to C, D, and E with the CD's being G and H. I know that when I bought the cpu 2 years ago and installed the software it did okay. I'm open to suggestions for a resolution.

Thanks.

Internal IDE ZIP drives require no software installation whatsoever - so what you're talking about above in your first line you don't have to do, and probably shouldn't have looking at the results.

Question, what motherboard are you using? I guess if you've got a motherboard where the bios doesn't recognize zip drives, then maybe Windows won't automatically recognize the drive - though for a mobo not to detect zip drives it would have to be like an original Pentium mobo or earlier.

MB is ASUS A7V KT133 Socket A. I kow that it should work as it worked for a couple years before I reformatted the HD this week. I put all of the install files that came with the MB back on. Or at least it appears that I did as nothing else is giving me problems. Thoughts?
