If you have a zip drive, save whatever you want on the zip disks, reformate the hard drive, reinstall Win95, and reinstall the zip drivers. If you do not have the original win95 disks or CD you may have a bit of a problem at least from a legal standpoint.
If by zip you mean a compression progarm like PKZIP, I would save whatever you need to get started (like pkunzip) in uncompressed form.
Another possibility is to use a program like Partition Magic but that will not enable you to reformat the whole hard drive.

Thanks isaacguy but where are the drivers and how do I install them in dos
The zip drivers should be under a directory on the CD called DOS (I think).  The cdrom drivers should be under a directory called cdrom (or something similar) on the C: drive.

Hope you get it working!
