Ok folks, heres how it all started. I decided to dual boot my pc with Mandrake 9.1 and XP. So I started out with creating a 20gb partition (is this too much?) Which would leave me with about 50 for XP. So I got through all that fine and dandy (BTW I used partition magic 8). So then I got to installing mandrake, worked fine the first time, except had some problems with it recognizing my keyboard at first, fixed that by doing the text based installation instead of the normal GUI. So when that finished I got to the logon prompt, logged in, everything was fine. Switched back to xp and defragmented over night. Came back next morning, rebooted. Tried to get into mandrake, worked fine until I got to the Logon Prompt. At that point it froze up, keyboard and mouse wouldn't function. So I rebooted, got onto XP, everything worked fine. So then I opened up Partition Magic to see if everything looked ok. And to my surprise my linux partition was filled up somehow. So I tried formatting and reinstalling mandrake, same problem happened again. So here is where I leave off. Could this be a hardware problem? Or is my installation of PM8 corrupt? Attached below is a picture of what partition magic shows me for my partitions. If I forgot to mention any valuable information, please respond with what I need to add and I'll get to it asap. Thanks in advanced for any help.
