Re: Fedora11 issue with IDE ZIP?

In attempting to install Fedora 11, I ran into an issue with an IDE

the Zip to get it to work?

My lab has Zips in each computer as hdb, but we seldom use them. I am
hoping they can be reconnected after the install process. Anyone else
seen this?

I encountered that when installing Fedora Core 4, and earlier, on one
PC. In my case it seemed to be a BIOS issue, and the Zip drive being an
ATAPI device that confused the machine as to which was the drive it
should boot from to install the OS. So I disconnected for the install,
reconnected afterwards, and things worked fine.

Test on one of your machines, to see what happens for you.
