View Full Version : Trouble booting Knoppix in Win XP

This is like my third try at running Knoppix on my computer. I used MD5 GUI and the .md5 file to check the image file and everything turned out ok. I burnt image using Sonic RecordNow! I set my boot sequence to first boot from the CD drive and then the hard disk, but it always boots in windows. I did check my settings and found that windows is the default Operating System, but that shouldn't matter. I've already looked into the FAQ, but I still can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

I have tried with each version and have the same result.

I burned with Nero and disabled my hard drive set the boot sequence and still no luck.

I have tried on 3 different pc's

I know these things are usually user error but at this point I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

I hope its just a simple fix I could make the boot disketts from 3.3 but I would much rather have the cd just boot up.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

It is possible that you did not burn the CD properly. Check out

On the left side of the page, there are some links that explain exactly how to burn the CD so that it will be bootable.
