Zip disks suffer from what is known as a click of death. When you put in a disk with this click of death problem it will click rather loudly when you try to access the disk. This causes problems when witting/reading from the disk. This problem can be transfered from one disk to another just by using a disk that has this problem on a drive then using a non infected disk on the same drive.

This is very, very true.


Why?  Do zip disks tend to fail when the HDD fails?
