Iomega 100 zip drive driver

OMG ZIP drives. wow (extreme legacy) 1994 made.
no, those ended 2 decades ago.
why not use USB memory sticks
or USB hdd or ssd docking ?
leave Iomega in the dust bin,
off the wiki it says.

There are some things that you can try. Look and see if Vista drivers work. Also if you are using the more advanced versions of windows 7, you can use XP mode in the windows 7 environment and see if you can install the drivers for it.

Hi iffubar
This device is outdated and no more supported under Windows 7 :

You can download drivers for the zip-drive at:

They should help.

Greetings - According to Iomega your 100 MB ZIP drive media should be fine at being at least readable (the Iomega software does not work with Win 7) natively by Win 7 and Vista. Since the drive is recognized I suspect the problem is actually the discs themselves.

It turns out that the discs were not very good at long term storage and are notorious enough to have a term referring to the problem as the "Zip Burp" where:

• A) All files on the disk disappear
• B) Just Compressed Formats such as JPG, ZIP, CAB, ECT Disapear
• C) "The Disk Needs To Be Reformatted" message is displayed or
• D) files disappear as you click them

The only way that I know to find out for sure if your discs are good is if you can find someone with an XP machine that will let you temporarily install your Zip drive (including the latest drivers) and see what happens.

Good Luck,

Well your Q. is not very clear but as per my concern it is not a problem of Window XP. You have not download the correct Driver of it. Surch for the exact Driver and install it on your computer.

hi

can you try reformatting that? it may readily upgrade itslef after reformatting it.

I'm trying to re-install iomegaware zip 100 & it tells me it does not support windows 2000 so I need to update drivers. Can you please help me figure this out as I rely on my zip for backups. I have version 21.1.
thanks very much
