Hello All (again),

Let me make this as straight forward and short as possible but I need to give 
you Linux/Mandrake brains some history.
After much research on my part about switching to Linux and then with all the 
security issues with Exposer(Explorer) I was fed up and made the move. 
However my confidence was not there so I opted for a dual boot system(bad 
mistake).  Here's the harddrive layout of what I had - Cdrive was 80GB and 
had XP on it and I had a Ddrive of 120GB.  So thinking I wanted to do a dual 
boot system I went and bought a 250GB for Linux.  Tried the dual boot system 
and was not happy.  So I tried to install Mandrake 10.0 and erase XP but (Not 
thinking) it put it back on the 250 Gb drive.  So I went in and Installed 
Mandrake on the original Cdrive(after making copies of my data and pics) and 
had Mandarke do the partitioning.  Everything seems to be ok but when I look 
at the Hard Disk on my desktop there is just one.

NOW- I go into system/config/mountpoints and look at the drives in there 
partition state and it is strange.
hda - has ext3 and swap details
hdb - has NOTHING for details
hdc - has ext3 ans swap details

What do I need to do?  Do I have to start over AGAIN?(bummer)
and a footnote, if I restart my pc I get a message that says "HardDrive Config 
error   - sda was removed" one time and then the next time is says it was 
added.

Sorry for the length of this.
Please advise
bj
