Just remove all the partitions from the 20GB drive. That will leave the drive completely blank with no drive letters or partition information saved to the drive. When you load Mandrake, you can simply create the partition(s) with Mandrake Linux and divide up the drive however you choose to for Linux. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
