Have a look in here: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=93758#93758
This thread also describes how to run knoppix from the hdd without creating a new partition for knoppix and without touching the mbr or the boot sector of your disk/partition. This is a very clean way and much faster way to run Knoppix than from the cd/dvd/usb.
I do not have a 8gb usb dongle. Where did you find it ?
I dont't know if the HPUSBFW.EXE tool allows to format your dongle with a fat32 partition required for an iso > 2gb.
Please give me some feedback and let me if it works for you.
Best Regards, Gilles

thanks for reply. I buy the 8 gb usb drive from ebay. It is a sony vaio product and it is very small, like half finger. And it's really 8gb of data...
