You are right Doug, it is reading my zip disk (which is 100mb like you said). I watched closely at boot up, and it said wd2 is my zip drive. I checked, and fdisk does not prompt you as to what disk you want to use. And I went through the installation options and that is not one of them. All it has is novice, custom, and expert installations. All do pretty much the same and take you right into fdisk. There is no option in fdisk to change disk. I've even tried pressing every key on the keyboard in fdisk, thinking maybe its just not listed...It's so weird, any suggestions?
