[newbie] Install

[Alf C Stockton]

I have downloaded and created the 2 CD containing Mandrake 7.1 but when I
try and install I have the following problem.
I select standard install and it runs till it gets to my two IDE disks. It
then assumes that it can go ahead and rewrite the partitions on /dev/hdc
and I really don't want Mandrake fiddling with this drive. I have no
problem with it doing what it will with /dev/hda but I need to change the
install so that it leaves /dev/hdc alone. I have tried disabling the
second drive in the BIOS but still Mandrake persists in trying to rewrite
it.
 Please tell me how to do this.
