Ahh, it you're using it in WinXP, it may be a NTFS filesystem.
Linux system can read NTFS, but it will damage the filesystem if you write to it (which you can't do by default, since it is dangerous).
Try "mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt/ZIP". You might play with it a bit, like using /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 (for first partition), or trying without specifying a filesystem (see it is figure it out for you). I've also has luck using umsdos, and msdos as a filesystem type.

Post back and let us know if you find anything out...

EHCI(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   EHCI(4)

NAME
ehci -- USB Enhanced Host Controller driver SYNOPSIS
ehci* at cardbus? function ? ehci* at pci? dev ? function ? usb* at ehci? DESCRIPTION
The ehci driver provides support for the USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface, which is used by USB 2.0 controllers. EHCI controllers are peculiar in that they can only handle the USB 2.0 protocol. This means that they normally have one or more companion controllers (i.e., ohci(4) or uhci(4)) handling USB 1.x devices. Consequently each USB connector is electrically connected to two USB con- trollers. The handling of this is totally automatic, but can be noticed since USB 1.x and USB 2.0 devices plugged in to the same connector appear to connect to different USB busses. SEE ALSO
cardbus(4), ohci(4), pci(4), uhci(4), usb(4) HISTORY
The ehci driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6. BUGS
The support for hubs that are connected with high speed upstream and low or full speed downstream (i.e., for transaction translators) is lim- ited. BSD
