Use fdisk to check the partitions. On a recent install of 8.2, I slid the slider for disk size in diskdrake to the far right (allocate all disk space) and ended up with a partition that went past the end of the disk. Was the devils job fixing it. Did not think it was a Mandrake problem at the time as there was a flaky HD on hdb that seemed to glitch at the time the prob occurred - but you never know!
In the end gave up on Mandrake on this machine and tried gentoo which is where I found the root cause of the problem. Will try mandrake again soon. Interestingly, win2000 installed fine, but once I tried to repartition with diskdrake for mandrake, went bad again - go figure!
