    Iomega Zip Drive not working with Windows 10 - a possible solution.

    I had a similar problem that others have had with Iomega Zip drives not working with Windows 10 and threads to user issues are locked so I thought I would add a solution that worked for me here.

    My device is an Iomega USB Zip 250 with its own power supply.

    It was working on an XP desktop but not on a Windows 10 laptop.

    The device would appear on 'control panel - devices and printers' and in 'device manager' as a disk drive.

    The device properties indicated that it was working properly.

    However, in 'file explorer' it would either not exist or be inaccessible.

    This is what worked for me:-

    Open 'Device Manager' (Cortana search).

    Expand 'Disk drives' (click the > symbol).

    Open properties for the Iomega device (double click).

    Click the 'Policies' tab.

    Under 'Removal policy' check 'Better performance'.

    Under 'Write-caching policy' check 'Enable write caching'.

    Under 'Write-caching policy' check 'Turn off Windows write-cache buffer'.

    Click the 'OK' button.

    After the above steps the Zip drive appeared in file explorer as a normal USB storage device.

    My thoughts are that the Zip drive itself was powering down to an inaccessible hibernation mode after initialisation but with caching switched on the zip disk and its files become available in this mode.

    I do not have English version right now so text below is not literally correct.

    Run Device manager, open properties of your Iomega drive (it does not matter how it was detected, select Driver update, on the bottom of the page click on Install drivers manually, remove mark Show compatible devices, Select Iomega in left list, select your
    device in right list.
