I was going to suggest this, but it can totally obiterate access to some partitions if it doesn't find their tables, and set them up again. When I lost a partition with PM, I ended up just resizing things (with help from the PM people), and things came back to life. >then pulled >the case put the dard drive in the desktop no other disks besides the >orig and using the desktop to load mandrake on the thing.

Need to get me kvm switch ;-) So I guess you didn't loose any partitions, or any important ones. Is this a HDD you're using exclusively for Mandrake Phillip?
