I've tried this, it gives me "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems"
which I think is strange, I've also tried fatfs fat16 fat32, each of which seems strange.
when specifying the device /dev/sda it does access the USB ZIP drive as the drive lights up and you can hear it accessing the device. also in the xconsole window it tells me that it has found the device and gives me "SCSI device sdb: 39070080 512-byte hdrw sectors (20004 MB) which is my Lacie drive, it seems to know what it is as it seems to know that it is 20 Gig, which is correct. it is also the only 20 gig device on this machine so I know it's definitly finding My lacie.
I have no SCSI devices in this particular system so it seems that USB devices are accessed as sda: sdb: sdc and so on for each device
uname returns the result 2.4.0-4GB.
I'm going to try and mount a clean drive by formating it in Linux and hopefully it will access it correctly then, at least then I will know that my system can actually write to this device, even though I won't then be able to access this device on Windows XP
