    I hope this will help. Could you please post some feedback about these changes ?
    Thank you, Gilles
    At last - with this mod I can boot to the cloop file on my Windows 98 machine without the need for a boot CD or boot floppy.

    If only I could stop it searching the CD-ROM before it goes to the \boot\knoppix.36 directory I would be really happy. Previous suggestion of using bootfrom does not work. It still searches the CD-ROM. By the way, if you are using the cloop file you still have to put it in as c:\knoppix\knoppix and use bootfrom=/dev/hda1 - you cannot bootfrom it in c:\boot\knoppix.36.

    Thanks Gilles for the correction. Keep up the good work!

    I am not sure why, but if I delete the boot directory in the root of my C: drive and then re-create all in manually, including creating the subdirectories, and then copy in the files from the zip, everything works perfectly.

    It could be something to do with how winzip creates directories when extracting from a zip, as my original boot directory would of been created as I extracted the zip then just moved to the correct location.

    Thanks very much for your help in getting this to work.

    Thanks a lot for the info. I will try to recompile with debug enabled and investigate. Gilles

    YES! That worked very, very well.

    For other HP users, you may wish to consider adding the cheatcode pnpbios=off to avoid error messages, unless someone knows what the real problem is. Perhaps the error indicates why Knoppix won't recognize my USB thumbdrive unless I boot with it.

    Thanks again, Gilles,

    Will this feature be a part of the next release ??

    Will this feature be a part of the next release ??

    It would be nice to have it in the standard release.

    I was just curious to find out if it becomes a part of the standard release do we need to download grubc* , and make directories etc.Or will there be an easier way to do it??

    I'm still not getting this. I followed the instructions here - http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/WinPartition and it sounds so simple
    but all I'm getting is the first prompt then when I select "start grub" I just get a black screen with a blinking curser. I'm using XP Pro and have tried both the c:\grldr="Start Grub" and c:\bootgrub="Start Grub (old method)" in menu.lst.
    As I understand it, this way I don't need to do anything with the disk I burnt the ISO image to, just the actual ISO I downloaded? Or am I supposed to copy something from the live cd first?
    I just can't seem to get anywhere with linux at all in any way shape or form.

    Same problem

    I see the same behaviour as fannymites. I painstakingly followed every word of the latest instructions, and the machine just hangs after I select "Start grub". Things I did :

    1. Downloaded and extracted gribc.zip except boot.ini
    2. Edited boot.ini - mine is a simple case with just one hard drive and Win2k.
    3. Downloaded Knoppix3.6.iso and placed it in the directory.
    4. Edited menu.lst to just change the timeout from 5 to 15 seconds, nothing else.

    I even tried removing the knoppix.iso lines, just to see if the memtest works - nah. I gave up after tons of reboot and file edits. Could somebody help.

    Thanks,
    Shrek. (Pittsburgh)

    Hi!
    I did a PMI of knoppix 3.7 on my laptop.
    Now i only have to boot using the knoppix cdrom and then i can load the knoppix installation from my hard drive (i copied the knoppix.iso file on the NTFS drive).
    However, when i use this PMI i dont have read access anymore to the NTFS drive.
    I get a message 'could not enter folder /cdrom2.loop'. It seems that dev/hda1 is mounted at /mnt/cdrom2.loop and i dont have access to it.
    I dont have this problem when i run knoppix from the cdrom. I can see the contents of the NTFS drive without any problem.
    Does anyone know why this happens? Is there a workaround?
    Also, could anyone give me a hint how to create a bootfloppy so that i dont have to boot from the cdrom?
