I've just installed Knoppix onto hard-disk (or at least, I've attempted to) and upon trying to boot I get the message "Not found any [active partition] in HDD".
The machine doesn't have a floppy drive so I couldn't create a boot disk.
The drive is 4310MB with 3500MB setup as ext2 or ext3 (can't remember which I chose... whichever was default probably) and the rest as a linuxswap thingy.
(Originally it had a 2GB Windows partition on the disk, but I cleared that with the Q-thingy which Knoppix has.)
Near the end of the installation it mentioned something about booting and Windows. I selected No because it's going to be a pure Linux machine.
Then it mentioned a warning about my video adapater.
(The graphics card is a 32MB Geforce 2 MX, the monitor is a ~ten years old 12/13" AOC thing~)
The installation seemed to finish okay, so I shutdown, removed the Knoppix CD and rebooted, but obviously it hasn't worked properly or the system would be booting.
Please help... It's taken long enough to get this system built & ready, and I really would like to get it finished today.
(Well, usable, at least... it wont be finished until I can afford a network card, USB adapter & mouse :/ )

Hooray, it gives me a boot menu and is now booting into Debian.
