DOS Driver for Zip 250 ATATI/IDE Drive?

Does anyone know where to find a DOS driver for the Zip 250 ATAPI/IDE drive? I need to backup some data via DOS before reformatting my hard drive and reloading Windows ME because of a corrupted MBR. The files are too big to go on a 1.44 meg floppy disk. I have a bootable floppy that has MSCDEX.exe on it. It loads CDROM driver MSCD000 and names the Zip Drive as drive D, the DVD-ROM drive as E, and the CD-ROM drive as F, but will not access the Zip drive. It gives me the message: CDR103: CDROM not High Sierra or ISO-9660 format reading drive, whenever I try to access the Zip drive. Iomega seems to think that I should be able to access the Zip drive without any special driver, but... :(

Dan,
Iomega.com has a great site for drivers for all Zip type products. I found what I needed for an IDE/ATAPI Zip 100 drive, and I'll bet they can help you too.
Summary: Have recently suffered total HDD failure & bought new maxtor diamond 80gb HDD. Run FDisk, created FAT32 partion & formatted drive. Dos is operational. I dont have a driver for either of my cd drives...
