    Can't run it through Windows unless you configure a virtual machine. But you can download 'Live' discs, and run it directly from a CD :).

    just download the love CD I linked to and try it for yourself, I'm 99% sure your hardware will be able to run.

    Hard drives should be accessible through /etc/mnt/hda1, hda2, hdb1, etc, though this may not be automatically configured using a LiveCD. aMSN is a very good MSN clone, and runs on my machine for day after day without giving a problem. :)

    In Mandriva they are are found in My Devices although they will not be shown on that live CD so you have to access them via Run Command.
