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...
