it seems that your partition table is already fscked
up ... i would suggest *really* zapping the boot
sector (usually sector 1) that contains partition and
booting info about your disk.

new, boot on rescue mode:

the slider for disk size in diskdrake to the far right (allocate all
disk space) and ended up with a partition that went past the end of the
disk. Was the devils job fixing it. Did not think it was a Mandrake

ok, now that you said you have an ATA100, the
situation is different. i think for such hard disk
controllers, you need to do a reverse detection. its
important that your regular ide controllers are
detected as hda-hdd and that your ATA controllers are
detected as hde-hdh then you install

1) Can you delete all of the partitions except the first ( windows C: ) and
then commit the changes to disk or will that fail also ? You can always abort
the install and then restart the install later.
2) During the install, can you use one of the other vitual consoles to execute
