How did you determine that the zip drive was responsible?

What, exactly, happened?

Well, this part is (probably) easy. You need to note the names of the corrupted files, then go to a command prompt. If you're using Windows 9X, go to Start==>Accessories and look at the offerings. You're looking for MSDOS. When you click on that, you should get a blank screen, with a command prompt. Depending on where the file is, you'll have to CD to the directory where the file is to be able to delete it. (You may even need to change the attributes of the file in order to do this.)

Since I don't know what your operating environment is, I really hesitate to try to direct you much further.

As to why? Same answer. It could be driver conflict. It could be an errant program you've installed. Maybe you've corrupted your Windows installation by improper shutdowns. And maybe you've picked up a virus that is slowly destroying your system. You can verify or deny that fairly quickly by going to http://housecall.antivirus.com/.

Much more detailed information would be required to give you adequate help, and even then, since it's Windows, I might not be able to help much.
