[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1848389, member: 46727"] I'm thinking that if those Zip disks were Mac pre-formatted they were likely done using an older scheme which is no longer readable. Some folks have had trouble reading older floppies because of the same reason. Just give the disks to your friend and let him erase them from his PC. Unless of course you have data on them that is sensitive to you. I remember from my PC days what a headache those zip disks were. I used both USB and SCSI drives back then and was always replacing the disks because of the "click of death" or some other reason. I finally gave up on them and got rid of my Iomega drives. [/QUOTE]
