hello ! 

this is just a newbye question concerning a Iomega Zip 250.
i know this topic was submitted a few weeks ago, 
but i still have some trouble, even using the previous mails.

the hardware is fully recognized by Fedora 
(using the information center of KDE), 
but still remaining a question : 
/dev/sda1, /dev/hdb1 ... does not work ... 
only /dev/sda4 ! 

so, why sda4  ???  - why not sda1 or 2 ... ? - 

does anybody have an explanation ? 

if i put my external HD that uses /dev/sda1 to /dev/sda10 (several 
partitions), what is happening ? 
where whould be my zip ? - on /dev/sdb4 - 
which one has priority ?

thanks for the comments,

Marc
