    am I right in thinking it only removes all the data from the partition it is installed to?

    Ok, did you set up a parition via windows? are you installing mandrake to the paritioned section? Is the paritioned section reformated? If you answer yes to all these questions, then it is ok to reboot

    I never seen a Mandrake install look like that. Must be that crappy Community 10 beta.

    You will probably run into problems..........or not.
