Is your computer made in 2004 or earlier? Mandrake is an old outdated Linux distribution. By using it you will lose tons of new exciting features developed during last 4 years.
And of course, Linux developers back then did not include support for future hardware (what a pigs!), one should not expect it will run on newer hardware.
