This may be a mute point, since it's been a fairly well established fact
that Linux and Western Digital drives don't like one another, but did you
boot the CD to start the install, or did you start from a boot floppy?
I've willing to bet though that what you're experiencing is that when
Linux saw your drive it bailed on you. I could be terribly wrong, but as I
said, there's something about WD hdd.
Something else I'm wondering about...
* was this a single attempt, or did this happen on numerous
attempts at installing Mandrake?
* I've forgotten what the other question was...need more coffee.

considering as perspective suiter who had a terrible case of acne.
Annie was reported to have replied, "His face is an easy read!"
