Thank you all for your suggestions regarding not being able to install Mandrake on a hard drive which already had XP on it. When trying to install, the machine just rebooted into XP.
It was solved by starting the Mandrake installation with Disk2. When asked which CD drive to use for installation, remove Disk2 and replace it with Disk1 and click on OK. Then, from the report I have received, the installation went smoothly as though Disk1 had been used for booting. So it would appear that there is a problem with his CD drive not reading some disks. I also have that problem occasionally. Cheers Keith
