ide0 and ide1 are two ide buses on motherboard. hda and hdb will be on
ide0; hdc and hdd (if you have them) will be on ide1.

I think you need to add kernel boot parameter "hdc=ide-scsi" or
"hdd=ide-scsi" depending on which device is your zip drive. You may
need to add sd_mod to /etc/modules.

Does your zip drive have power? Is the ide ribbon cable loose? I would
expect it to appear in hardware list. Check ide and power cable
connections.
