Ok, never mind...
Zip disks have partition tables. When you buy the disks they are usually set up to have 1 partition which is partition number 4. You can use fdisk to partition it however you want to. There is nothing that forces it to be partition number 4. Do an:
fdisk /dev/sda
and see whats there.
