No Diane. You only get to the hard drive MBR after bypassing the CD
bootup step. But if you can't boot from *any* bootable CD, no matter
whether it is Windows or Linux, then something is wrong with the
hardware (assuming that the BIOS is correctly set up).
Given that it is a new computer, I would take it back to the store and
ask for another one. Carry the Windows and Mandrake boot CDs to show
them the problem.
Good luck!
