what do you mean by autoconfigure ? make the drive available by loading the module and making the dev to acces it ? make a mount point ? > Or am I doing something wrong, > perhaps the Control Center can help me out?

Mandrake Control Center -> Mount Points -> Diskdrake Mandrake should not autoconfigure your drive after install ( i.e add a mount ) because : 1�/ you may want to give your own mount point name 2�/ which name to choose ?
