Internal IDE 100 MB ZIP under Windows XP Pro

[Serious_Practitioner]

Please forgive the cross-post - I wasn't sure which group would be most
appropriate.

I removed an internal ZIP drive from an older machine and installed it in a
newer machine, it worked, then I upgraded the machine to WXP Pro. Now the
ZIP unit is not recognized.

I've run the downloadable drivers and such from Iomega, with no change in
the system behavior. I've tried to use the wizards to install the ZIP unit -
no luck.

I did notice that Iomega is not listed as a hardware manufacturer in the
list of manufacturers which comes up if one selects a manual install. Why is
this, does anyone know. Did Iomega displease Microsoft?

Any help appreciated...TIA

I've installed IDE Zip drives dozens of times in XP PCs. Both Iomeaga ones and
clones (Panasonic). They always work once configured OK ie. Master or Slave on
Primary or Secondary IDE as appropriate.

I've certainly never gone near the Iomega software - XP sees the drive correctly
as a removeable.

Can't explain why it worked before but doesn't now though.

In Device Manager my XP Home box says IOMEGA ZIP 100
under the "Disk Drives" area. Mine is an atapi 100
Iomega drive however. I've used it for ten years now.
