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.
