I would recommend a fresh install, but since several live CDs can't boot, I
wonder if that will do any good. You say it runs Mandrake 9.2, so it doesn't
sound like new hardware.,. This confuses me.
If you have a spare HD, I'd recommend removing your current drive and doing
a fresh install on the spare drive. If that works, try a fresh install on
the old drive, or just use the old drive to hold your user files and boot
off the spare drive.
