Anarky - you are way out on this.  Mandrake does *not* break drives.  
Drives that have a built-in firmware fault break when certain 
software, which would include windows software, make a recognised 
ATAPI function call.  It is *not* a Mandrake problem.  The only *fix* 
Mandrake can give is a temporary one - the removal of some 
functionality of the kernel.  They should not have to do that.
