The windows hard disk where my boot loader resides is starting to make noise and I am trying to make a boot floppy so that my linux (on second disk) is still reachable if windows drive fails. The boot floppy created during hd install with knoppix-installer is unreadable, msdos says i/o failure and linux locks up trying to read it or format. Was an old floppy :wink: I have been unable to find instructions for creating a boot disk for a hd install of knoppix, what I have found is for floppy booting to live CD. Instructions from a debian forum fail trying to copy a chain loader which apparently doesn't exist. Could someone offer directions or a link? This is a hd install of 3.3 debian-style. Thank you.
