I`m having a problem with data transfer between a W98 machine and W-XP using an Iomega ZIP 100 disk.
Basically, when the disk is formatted on the XP machine, which I assume but am not certain is NTFS (I`ll find out), it works but when the disk is brought home and popped into the 98 machine it reads , "disk not formatted". We formatted the disk on the 98 machine, saved a file to it, (5 meg Power Point) and it was tried on the XP machine and read not formatted.
I don`t have access to the XP machine because it is at the local university.
In a nutshell, the disk works perfectly on each machine as long as the disk is formatted on that machine but shows not formatted when placed in the other machine, we`ve tried different disks with the same result.
On this end, (W98), I`ve downloaded the latest driver and diagnostics pass.
Any thoughts\ideas are appreciated.
