Mandrake Linux 9.0 install problems

I have a 60 gig hard drive and a 4.3 gig hard drive in my computer. I have Windows XP home edition on the 60 gig (first) hard drive. The 4.3 gig hard drive (second) is partitioned into 2 parts (half and half) and has files and documents. I used Partition Magic 8.0 to create a 8 gig Linux partition at the end on the first (60 gig) hard drive. I put a 500mg Linux swap file on the second (4.3 gig) hard drive at the end of the second partition. When I try to install Mandrake Linux 9.0 It freezes onthe hard drive detection part. I changed the bios plug n play OS setting to NO. This was in the documentation. But it still freezes. HELP
