Mine wasn't corrupt, but it failed when trying to copy files.

The solution is to use WinZIP to extract the install kit to a folder, then run it from there...


------------------
SuperMicro P6DBS (dual UW-SCSI) BIOS 2.2, 2*Celery 300a @ 450Mhz, 384MB PC100 RAM
SCSI-A=4.3Gb+9Gb, SCSI-B=Tosh32x CD-ROM, Yamaha4416 CD-RW, Iomega ZIP100, IDE1=4.3Gb
IBM EtherJet 10/100 NIC PCI + Nortel ADSL "modem"
Matrox G400 DH 32Mb AGP + Quantum3D Voodoo2 SLI PCI (CL TNT1 AGP on a shelf)
SoundBlaster Live PCI (not Value)
Win2K build 2195 Retail (not 120-day eval)

Nope, that won't work... keep getting a bad zip offset error... yuppie.. you get the whole thing.. or the modular?

I downloaded those same driver and had to manually extract them to a folder, they worked fine then. Try downloading them yet again.

ARG... I get a measly 1k/sec from their website.. anyone willing to send through icq... email me plz.. mizar88@hotmail.com
thx

[YuppieScum]

Whole thing - also try the FTP site...

[Mizar]

did both.. they are both slower than snot

[Mizar]

sigh.. 4th times a charm... go!zilla was monkeying something up in the works.. first time that has ever happened...

[EddiE314]

then don't use Go!zilla, scan for the CIH virus also, i had that problem in Win98

I just have to throw in here that that download was the slowest download I have ever had. I could have typed the dang binary format by hand faster than it came down.

What is Iomega using for their Internet connection? Two 56K modems tied together with bailing wire????

For the record, using a dedicated FTP client, and forcing my ISDN connection to lock two channels open, that stupid download averaged 600 bps. Yes, 600 Bps.

Byron -

I've mirrored the Iomega s/w at

ftp://ftp.globular.com/pub/w2k/w32_iom221_en.exe

should be slightly faster...

[ByronT]

Thanks anyway, Yuppie, but you put up that mirror a little late for me. I wasted most of last night waiting for that stupid download.

Regards...

i found on windowsupdate a fix hehe

idonno if it works though.

it just released in the last 48 hours too :-)

enjoy..

ByronT, they're using duct tape, not bailing wire, and they're using two 33.6's. I also could have killed myself because of the download, there has to be lots of traffic though
