[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)]My device is an Iomega USB Zip 250 with a separate power supply. I have several discs that have a lot of data that I’d like to get at, but can’t access.

It was working on an old XP laptop from many years ago but will not work on a Windows 8.1 nor a 10 laptop.

The device properties indicated that they are working properly.[/COLOR]


I see websites that claim to have drivers but I’m uncertain if these are correct or even safe.

Any suggestions on settings that I might use to get either of my laptops to be able to “see” the zip drive?
