If you're stuck in the first stage where you have to tell where to install
from (yes the messages were a bit unclear, it's fixed now), it's HIGHLY
unprobably that I could eat your partition table!
About not finding the directory on the partition, I just implemented an
additional feature that lists an extract of the partitions when the
program fails to find the directory and/or Linux-Mandrake Distribution on
your disks. If you want to try it quicker that the mirrors you can find it
here:

You've put "cdrom.img" in the boot record? What does it say?
