I have just burnt boot disc from KNOPPIX_V5.1.1CD-2007-01-04-EN.iso after checking the md5 as in faq.
However I have been unable to boot from the disc. I reburnt it at 2x speed and made sure burnt iso image etc, this was done from OSX. The disc itself seems fine however when debug is turned on knoppix fails when uncompressing linux.
I have tried a whole combination of boot options, with failsafe and debug I get the following:
Loading linux...........................................
Loading minirt.gz..........................
Ready.
Uncompressing Linux...
crc error
-- System halted
I am trying to get it going on Vaio notebook PCG VGN-FS660/W which wont boot XP for as yet an unknown reason, but may be a failed hardrive.
I noticed in some earlier posts, over 2 years, that the thinking on this sort of crc error is that the live cd has probably got a bad sector on it. If this is the case is there a way of checking this out? Unfortunately I don't have access to another cd burner or pc to test out.
Any ideas welcome
Thanks
