 Diskdrake 7.2 (not 7.1 /7.0 they work fine) appears to have a problem
 detecting partitions when my dvd drive is pluged in.
 
 eg
 
 hda = 20gb ibm
 hdb = dvd drive
 hdc = 20gb ibm
 hdd = ide cd-rw
 
 hda will fail to detect (bad magic number in partition table)
 
 when i do
 
 hda = 20gb ibm
 hdb = ide cd-rw
 hdc = 20gb ibm
 hdd = dvd drive
 
 hdc fails to detect correctly
 
 when i do
 
 hda = 20gb ibm
 hdb = ide cd-rw
 hdc = 20gb ibm
 
 all is ok...
 
 all drives are on udma66 leads,
 i also have a hpt470 (aka hpt466) with nothing pluged in as ide2/3
 
 (this pc dosn't have 2 extended partition tables like my other one ;-)

Have you used "Use hard drive optimisations (may cause data corruption)"
at Install time?

If so, try to remove the "autotune" parameter from your boot parameters.
