check the jumpers on the Zip drive to make sure they are not set to make your Zip the A: drive.

Check and make sure the power conector and ribbon cable are still connected to the floppy drive.

If the light on the floppy drive stays on all of the time then the ribbon cable is pluged in backwards.

That will get you started
