Hey do any of you know what's going on?

One of my zip disks just won't work anymore.
I put it in the drive, then the computer makes some buzzing noises and it keeps reading the disk. It won't open when I go to it though!

Help please?

Sounds like the disk itself is screwed.

You didn't eject it while it was still writing, right?
(While the green light on the disk drive was on... )

If it's doing that it's nackered. have you got another disk to test the drive? if that works your disk is shot.

Try another Zip disk.
Do not put a higher zip disk in a lower zip drive
Do not put floppy disks in your zip drive
And always wait before ejecting zip disks

They should just have it as a warning to buyers.
Also with a nice producer reference

"Don't sue"

what is a zip disk?
does it come with winzip or some zip program?

it sounds like a type of floppy
