It's not that hard. You need to make a boot floppy for the hard drive install. In windows, insert cd-1 and choose the make boot floppy option. That will bring up a little program called rawwrite. In rawwrite, you need to choose an image for making the boot floppy. Navigate to the "Images" directory on cd-1 and choose "hd_grub.img" as the image. Place a good floppy in your drive and the boot floppy will be created.
Next you have to do a little manipulation on the iso files. Since you have already decompressed them, this won't be hard. Copy all your cd-1 files to a convenient windows folder. Next copy your RPMS2,3 and 4(if you have the fourth) directories to the "Mandrake" directory from cd-1. The reason for this is that the install program will only see the cd-1 files if you don't do the above. By moving the RPMSx directories to the cd-1 mandrake directory, the install program will find the rpms on all four cds.
Finally, to do the install, you boot off the floppy you just made and point the install program to the windows folder with the mandrake stuff and it should do the install.
One final caveat. IIRC the mandrake files must be on a FAT32 partition, at least that's the way it used to be. The hard drive install program did not have NTFS support.
