Downloaded the newest 3.3 (11.19 I think) with BitTorrent from a diffrent website (suprnova.tk). Wrote it to a CDR with Nero. Reboot and all that happens is the computer continues with trying to read the CD. Pulled it out and went back into Windows, put it back in and it still has trouble reading the disk.
Came here and downloaded it again (nice speed BTW, at one point was getting upwards of 150kbps . Got another program because I read that Nero might screw the disk. Burned as image with DropToCD to another kind of CDR I have. The computer can usually read the second CDR I used, FYI. Same thing, computer continues to (try) and read the CDR non stop.
Read the docs, un-isoed the ISO with winrar and ran mkdisk in DOS. Made a boot disk. Rebooted with the CD in, and it came into the boot floppy. Pressed F2 and it said something about German keyboard layout and I should use 'lang=us'. I just pressed enter and I got the following:
Loading vnlinuz.........
Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue
Took out the CDR and put in the first CDR I made. Tried again. Same thing. Took out all CDR's and tried again but this time I typed "knoppix lang=us".
Same thing.
So I tried "knoppix failsafe lang=us".
Same thing.
Tried a few more combo's, like "knoppix 2 failsafe expert lang=us".
You guessed it, same thing.
I dunno whats up. Maybe one of you have an idea. When I get my laptop back this week I will try the CD's on that.
My desktop computer is an HP Pavilion 8570C, the specs are on this page (everything standard, no upgrades): http://h20015.www2.hp.com/hub_search/document.jhtml?lc=en&docName=bph05044
Any help at all would be cool. Thanks in advance.
