SYMPTOMS
When you use an Iomega parallel port disk drive (Zip, Jazz, etc.) on a computer running Windows 2000, the disk drive is not displayed in Iomega's disk tools.
NOTE: The disk drive is displayed in Windows Explorer and Disk Administrator.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows 2000 does not support SCSI commands on a parallel port device. This command set is used by Iomega's tools to access and administrate their removable disk drives.
