Installed Mandrake 7.0 from CD to hdb (4.3 G). Used Partition Magic 4.0 to make
entire second hd a linux partition. Mandrake 7 did a fine install but cannot deal
with ISA PP cards.
I remember RedHat 6.2 statements that an original install / as opposed to an
upgrade, will erase EVERY hard

If the boxed set you have is Linux Mandrake Complete you have a limited
edition PartitionMagic on disc3. While in Windows insert the CD and using My
Computer navigate to the PM/PtMagic folder and run Setup.exe. Then run PM
and resize your Windows partition
The original LM 7.0 CD had a problem if you booted from it and tried to
repartition your hard drive. It could damage partitions and make them
unreadable. Not quite erasing your drive, but close enough. From the LM site:

Not true at all. I did the CD-ROM drive boot / install and it worked fine. I
can now boot into either Windows or Linux using the Grub menu.
