I took the recommended install on Mandrake 7.0 and had no trouble with it finding a 13.6GB Western Digital Drive. I also let it set the partitions... It gave me a 1.5 GB root, 250MB Swap, and a 11.193 GB home. Only problems I had was impatience in selecting video, because I didn't have the monitor documentation and Win98 had listed it as "unknown". I'm going to go back and reinstalling this weekend and trying the Customized option. By the way Joe, My CD_ROM didn't want to initilize (a Samsung) When I had it set up as a Master or CS (Jumper). Make sure your's is attached as the Primary IDE slave, not to your sound card, and it may help with that problem...
