Mandrake 10.1 usb HD install

Having trouble installing Mandrake 10.1 onto my External 200GB HD. It will start installing the various files then it will stop and give me an error stating that it couldnt install the specified file and if i want to continue anyway. After I click yes, nothing else will install either.

Btw, quick question. If i mess up my windows MBR, how do i change it back so i can boot winxp with the standard bootloader?

Thanx for all your help

thats where the windows legendary user friendliness comes to your help...just pop the windows installation cd or any other bootable XP cd.... chose "R" for rescue and at the command prompt just type "fixmbr" without the quotes..thats it ..your PC when it wakes up wouldnt know another OS existed!
