Emax

So when you changed the ZIP drive's letter from C to H, the Hard drive's letter automatically changed from D to G ?
It seems to me that something is not 100pct correctly installed in your PC...
When EMXP is trying to access the ZIP disk, is the ZIP drive reacting (LED on, motor on, disk loaded and motor spinning) ?
When you changed the drive letter assignment, you didn't notice any other (virtual) drives having the same drive letter ?

I put in a zip disk that i made with the usb drive and tested in my eiiix and it worked.

But EMXP is not really aware of the kind of communication bus (IDE,ATAPI,SCSI,USB,...) used when accessing (removable) hard disks or cdrom drives. It should accept any drive which has a drive letter assigned by Windows.
