    booting with iso on C:

    How do I boot with an iso on the C: harddrive(hda2)?

    Will one of these work?

    bootfrom=/dev/hda1
    Access Image then boot from previously copied CD-Image (enables booting from NTFS / ReiserFS) - Knoppix V3.4


    bootfrom=/dev/hda1/KNX.iso
    Access image, boot from ISO-Image. - Knoppix V3.4

    An ISO image is a file that is written to the CD. When on the CD, it is no longer a .iso file. It is now all the files that it represents. Therefore, booting from an ISO image will not work, because there are no boot files. You need to get a blank CD-R or CD-RW, open Roxio or whatever you use, set it to wie ISO images, and write it. You will then have a boot disk. Reboot, press F8 or something like that before your current operating system starts, set the boot list to run from CDROM, nad it will load Knoppix.

    No, please see http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Win_Partition
    It's not only possible to boot from the iso, but it works quite well.
