Title: IOMEGA ZIP 100 Drive
Post by: paullynx on November 04, 2013, 06:58:18 AM

Hello, I'm new to the forum so I hope this makes sense to someone.... I've had an Iomega zip drive for years... I just put photos etc on it.

It's been working fine. I have also locked some files on some disks for security.

For some unknown reason I can no longer get the menu with the option to unlock the password protected disks ??

Unprotected disks work fine.... The protected ones just dont read...its says disk no inserted..Yet it will still eject it.

I used to be able to right click on the disk icon and select un protect...but that menu no longer appears?? Any Ideas ??

PS When i right click now I get the standard.....open, explore search, format etc

Did you try re-installing the software ? ?
Also I have seen this happen when over time the read heads have become mis-aligned...unfortunately there's no fix for that.
