If you are restricted to using this machine as is and are determined to
dual-boot.
Install ez-bios from your WD install disk,--this will allow win to see
and use the entire drive.
When you install Mandrake DO NOT install lilo to the MBR.
Install it to either / or /boot, (if you it created as a separate
partition) and Make a Linux boot disk.
Anytime you wish to access linux you will need to boot using the boot
disk.
