The hd.img boot floppy will ask for the location of the source disk for your Mandrake install. For you it is probably /dev/hda or /dev/hda1 (remember, Linux looks at partitions differently than Windows, the first partition on the first hd would be hda1, the second, hda2, etc, and the first on the second disk would be hdb1, etc. Then it will ask for the Path to Mandrake, which could be /dev/hda1/windows/downloads/Mandrake or whatever. Be sure all your disks are located in the same directory. Mine is (keep in mind Linux, not on a Win partition on /dev/hda8) Hopefully, you won't run into any permission problems with your install files, and it will go from there. And, defrag Windows before you begin, because you will be resizing existing partitions during the install, I assume. And, although a bit dated, this site has a lot of info: http://fhj52.tripod.com/linux/MDK_HD_INSTALL.html
