Iomega Zip 100 IDE Drive

I can't install an Iomega ZIP 100 IDE drive on one of our computers - running Windows 95 Hebrew edition. Windows doesn't recognise the drive. I can use the drive if I boot to DOS or in a DOS window using Iomega Guest, so I think the problem is Win95 and not the computer. I have installed these drives on three other computers using the same Win95 version.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I need more info. It is an external Zip Drive?
If yes, then it is normal, just go to Device Manager and make sure you have SCSI controllers, and then Iomega Parallel Port Interface.
If you can see any of this that is your problem.
just re-install the cd that comes with the Zip Unit and it should work. Make sure you install the software from Windows itself. There is another way to do but let's give it a try this way. If you don't have the software or if it doesn't work or if it doesn't install please e-mail me back and I'll help you.

Good luck,

Have you switched the zip drive on the computer it does not work on with a know good zip? Did you check the device manager for conflicts? If it works in dos but not in windows then windows is loading software or drivers conflicting with it. The device manager will show the conflict.
