If you originally installed the system off CD, you should be able to do the 
same again.  Make sure your boot order in BIOS has CDROM before IDE.  Then 
you should be able to run the installer again, format the drive and reinstall 
the OS.

I installed Mandrake 10 2 weeks ago on this PC and had to do the same thing!

BTW, has anyone got WINE to work correct with MDK 10?  I have tried installing 
via a RPM package and through compiling generic install of WINE.  And yes, I 
should be using the Linux version of apps, but this is a DOS app that will 
never be ported!
