error inserting' /modules/cloop.ko' : -bad file number
im completly new to linux and to knoppix... i downloaded a cd iso and burned it in nero and when i ran it i got this error ( I assume its an error )
accesseing knoppix cd at /dev/hdd..insmod: error inserting' /modules/cloop.ko: -1 bad file number
does that mean the iso didnt burn right ? I burned it twice... do i need to use a program other then nero to properly burn the iso ... or is this posibly a hardware confliction in knoppix.... Nero didnt recongnize the iso image I had to sort of manually burn it ?
Im really intreasted in converting to a linux format ... I just want to make sure I can use it on this machine first and Knoppix seems like the best way to test that out ?

What the heck does that mean???
Did you check the md5 sum of thge iso that you downloaded?
I suggest that you follow the documentation link near the top of this page and follow the steps in the Downloading faq for testing and burning the iso properly.
Re: error inserting' /modules/cloop.ko' : -bad file number
I followed the instructions for the downloading and burning of the iso image and I got the same results. The md5 checksum thing said that the file i downloaded was fine ( I redownloaded from a diffrent mirror too Just in case. Same results however.... It seems like for some reason it cant read from that part of the disk or something ? Nero said that the iso was forieghn .... ? you got me on that one ... but it burned it anyway.... Its just not giving the normal iso burning options under the iso tab in the burn menue. Im stumped.

Well, that was an incrediable waste of bandwidth. If the md5 check passes then the file is good, as long as you get it from a trusted source. Your mention that you went to another mirror shows that you ignored the advice in the FAQ to use BitTorrent rather than a mirror, so I do wonder what other advice you decided wasn't important too. Did you burn slowly, for example?

I see the question mark, but is that a question? It looks more like a statement.
By the way, this isn't likely to be a problem reading the disk; Knoppix will boot just fine with no disk at all, and during the boot process only looks at the partition table and may use a Linux swap file if there is one on the disk (you can even prevent this with the noswap cheat code).

Again, just using a question mark does not change a statement into a question. But I have never seen that error in Nero or anyone else reporting that error. You might try a Google search for it. I have no idea which version of Nero you are using, or what version of Knoppix you are trying to burn, what steps you are taking to get this error, or what you did after you got the error. I still have no idea what "I had to sort of manually burn it" means.
Whatever you managed to make, are you getting far enough in the boot process to use the testcd cheat code?
If you write detailed notes on the exact steps that you take to burn the ISO then perhaps we can spot what you are doing wrong; short of that pretty much everyone else gets a good burn if they closely follow the instructions in the FAQ (which we update whenever we find an error that a user can make if they are trying to follow it).
