Unlock 100 MB zip disk - Iomega ZIP 100 MB SCSI (10011) External ZIP Drive

Hello.

If your iomega drive is connected to your computer, open My Computer and right-click on the Zip disk drive icon and choose the option to eject.

If unsuccessful, or the drive is not connected to your computer, remove the disk manually. Look for a small hole or lever. If a small hole, use a straightened paper clip and push into the hole to remove the disk. If a lever, lift and pull backwards.

Hope this helps.

Nope, time to upgrade.

If you are taking about 12 floppy disks a 1GB USB Flash drive is more than enough. 12 Floppy disks is only 17 Megs far below a 1 GB

remove it and reinstall it. This is a USB connected device???

Its actually called a ZIP disk, They are just like normal foppy disk but can't be interchangable. They store alot mroe than the floppy drives. 100 mb-500 i think.

Amber light on steady indicates that your power supply is bad.

First of all, make certain you are only using 100 MB disks in a 100 MB reader.

If the problem is more complex than that, I have several questions:

Can you read different disks?

what type of connection is the zip drive using with the computer? USB?

does the zip drive need an external power supply?

will the zip drive successfullly read disks when connected to a different computer?

does the zip drive appear under my computer at all? even as an empty drive?

what operating system are you using?

hi

can you try reformatting that? it may readily upgrade itslef after reformatting it.
