Hi.
I'm having a Windows problem with my hp Pavilion ze5200 laptop (it stalls/stops doing anything at the XP loading screen) and I am hoping to use Knoppix to get at a few of the files I have on there. I have the BIOS set to boot from the CD drive.
I used Nero to burn a bootable disc from the .iso image, and it burned it just fine with no issues. When I put it in my laptop and restart, it does boot up, but nothing happens. It start out by saying "Caldera-[something]" and then A bunch of text and such scrolls by, and I end up at a line that says
[DR-DOS] A:\>
Am I doing something wrong? Is it supposed to go there? Am I just an idiot?(cetainly :) )
I tried to read the FAQ, but it appears to be down :( If this would be more appropriate in the laptop forum, my apologies and please just move it there.
Your help is appreciated!
EDIT: Oh dear, this should have probably gone into the MS windows and new to linux forum, eh? :(
