Dear Shridhar nad other gurus, I did as per you said but problem persists.
I installed the whole Mandrake 8.1 again but then still the same. This happened in case of Slackeare8 which I installed few days back.But then after reinstalling the KDE again in Slack8 the problem was no more. Now I think rhat it has something to do with Seagate Baracuda (High rpm) hard disk I am using along with 80 Conductor IDE cable. Do let me know if I am missing something.
