    Well a Newb learns from his mistakes!



    Lesson number 1:
    Dont burn a CD copy of Knoppix 6.2 to a DVD!!! When I tried to install to HDD it completely messed up the process and didtn properly install the GRUB, I think it overwrote the Boot.ini for windows. Due to it being a CD Copy on a DVD, am I write in thinking the install process wasnt completed properly due to this, or could it be a bad download as I DL'd it straight from my browser? What a school boy error by oneself!

    Anyway I am currently re DL'ing a dvd version via a Torrent and will go for round two.

    Should a 4GB USB drive be sufficiant to install it to, or should i use my 120GB in case?


    Any help greatly appreciated, and thanks for the welcome Clinton.

    Did you do the md5 test on the download?
