I did not realise that Compaq Sold Deskpros with SCSI cards. Anyway, here is what I would do. I take it you want to install LINUX on the 20G IDE drive, and you currently have Win98 on the SCSI disk. All you have to do (others can correct me) is boot from the Mandrake CD, and when asked if you have a SCSI device, say yes. When you get to the disk druid just select the IDE drive and partition to suit. Leave the SCSI drive (if you can see it, you might need a disk driver) untouched. Hope this helps.
