What's p-drive?
I assume you have a drive P: in windo--.
Is it a network drive?
Or a USB drive?

Since you've a problem connecting I assume it's a samba network share.

P-drive is used in windows for web connetions or share files online.
is there any similar funtions in mandriva?
how do I use or find it in mandriva?
if I have to use samba, what do I do?

Linux itself usual comes with the so called
nfs (network file system)
It's a easy way of sharing files on the computer, many NAS Systems are supporting this protocol.

If you have a Computer with windo.. sharing a folder you will need samba.
Samba is a package witch is able to access windo-- shares.

First you create a folder where you wanna have the data:
example:
sudo mkdir /media/pdrive
then you just need to mount the share:
sudo mount -t cifs //server/share -o username=user,password=Passwordo /media/pdrive

additional you can create an entry in /ets/fstab (this would connect the share automatic)
I remember theres a alternative for writing user-name and password in the command line ... it's possible to write these in a file ...
