My guess is that Win95B and NT 4.0 have never heard about HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability, and didn't try to write to the Western Digital using it. Whereas Mandrake 9.1 is new and sophisticated enough to know about HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability and was using it to write to a drive that didn't support it. Hence all the problems with Linux files on the Western Digital.
Anyone know different?

I know nothing about MIDI So i won't address that. But your presumption is correct about the HDD.
