I'm not familiar with Mandriva, so I can't be of much help. I'm 
wondering, though, if maybe the other partitions are being mounted 
somewhere else or not at all (I recall Fedora moving removable media 
mounts (floppy, cdrom) from /mnt to /media at some point). Your 
/etc/fstab file should tell you what it's doing, and allow you to 
specify everything to do with mounts.
$ man mount
$ man fstab
