I had the same problem. I took the drive to  the PC put the files on it that I 
wanted and then write protected it. My feeling was that the finder database on 
the Zip was corrupt and by only letting the mac read from it and not even put 
a lousy litlle table on it , I would aleviate the problem.


This seems to have solved it, but I would like to know what happened too.
