I have an internal Iomega Zip drives. After I reboot and try to read a Zip Disk 100mb. I get a ?media in drive may have changed error?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Iomega Ware several times. Iomega tech support is no help. Does anybody else have this problem?

Hi - Not sure about that error but I was reading some time back about errors that happen on Iomega Zip and Jaz drives and Media. The net result is that the data is unrecoverable. Might take the disk to another drive and see if it really is the meida. If the media is bad, it can damage a good drive. Might also put a known good media in your drive and see if that work. One or the other should let you know if its the disk or drive. If you can't format a disk, one or the other is bad. I purchased some Jaz drives and media and had this occur on some. Haven't seen it personally on Zip but read memos that indicate it happens.
