Sounds like maybe something went wrong with the boot loader configuration.
Usually Mandrake is quite good at automatically detecting a Windows
partition and adding it to the boot loader menu - this would be either
LILO or Grub, I'm not sure what the default is. Possibly your Windows
partition was still intact and would have been accessible by
reconfiguring the boot loader.

Typing 'startx' should get you into a GUI. You might also prefer to
tell Mandrake to start the xserver at boot which can be done during
the install.
