Could you post the output from df -Th after booting from the USB stick?

Can you clarify, what you mean by "I mounted Knoppix USB-Stick as /dev/sda and Ubuntu HD as /dev/sdb and get while booting...."? When booting 6.4.3, I just put the thumbdrive in the USB port, turn...

Is there anyway to specify which partition is boot from? But I can also choose a unique name for each directory on each partition which will allow a specific boot for each version of Knoppix. Thanks...
