OS X - zip Disk Does Not Appear on Desktop


I have had a problem with one of our systems not mounting a zip drive to the desktop, but it shows up in /Volumes/

After upgrading to OS X v 10.3 (thinking that could be the issue) I finally discovered that the zip drive link remains hidden in the /Volumes/ folder even after the drive is removed which was causing the icon to not mount on the desktop.

In order to fix the problem I had to run the following line from Terminal:
sudo rm/Volumes/._ZIP250

and authenticate when requested. I would imagine that this would work on any drive with the same problem.
