Mandrake's GUI Install has an auto partition button. Good for beginers. Further
windows will prompt you to format partitions - defaults are OK in the case of a
new disk.

Mandrake will query the controller which only understands ATA33 and run at that
mode.
The only strange thing you might run into is if your LBA mode on the disk
controller does not show Linux there is more than 8GB on the disk. If that is
the case you might look for a BIOS update for your montherboard / disk
controller if it is a plug in card.
