Thanks for all your help. I just installed Windows 95 on a spare partition I had and formated it with the ZIP Tools. Do *not* worry! I deleted the contents of the partition 30 minutes after installing the damn thing. :-D On Thu, 24 Apr 1997, J Wunsch wrote: > As ee96199@tom.fe.up.pt wrote: > > > I used scsiformat to low-level format a parallel port ZIP drive > > > and now I can't even fdisk the disk because it says it can't > > read the master partition table. > > You don't necessarily need to fdisk.

It reported I/O error (can't read primary partition table) or something like that. And yes! My 2 1039MB disks are only used for FreeBSD. :-) BTW, does anyone has a portuguese keymap file?
