Due to Mandrake use of pentium optimizations (instead of i386 like most other
distros and windows) and Quantum's failure to comply with the pentium spec
(still distributing drive that don't mesh with pentium optimized timings),
Quantum drives don't play well with Mandrake. Download the i486 optimized
mandrake and it should work. (Or get another drive if possible).
