Can I use my ZipCD™ ATAPI drive in DOS?
Document # 10650e.html

You can use your ZipCD™ ATAPI drive in DOS, but only as a regular CD-ROM drive. Although Iomega® did not include any DOS drivers with your ZipCD drive, the DOS drivers that are built into the Windows® 98/95/Me operating systems will detect your drive. By creating a startup disk, you will have CD-ROM support for your ZipCD drive in case of a system crash where you need to use your drive to reinstall Windows using the operating system CD. Please use the following steps to create a startup disk with CD-ROM support for your ZipCD drive.

    Note: These steps will not work on a ZipCD USB drive because there is no DOS support for USB.

  1. Click Start, Settings and Control Panel.

  2. Click Add/Remove Programs.

  3. Click the Startup Disk tab.

  4. Click the Create Disk button.

Once complete, you should have a startup disk with CD-ROM support for your ZipCD ATAPI drive.
