Knoppix-STD won't boot on laptop - will boot on desktop
I'm trying to boot Knoppix-STD on a toshiba tecra 8100. The disk goes in I restart and it keeps booting to Windows 2000.
Knoppix-STD works fine on the desktop.
Also Knoppix 5.1.1 live cd works on the laptop.
Reason is I'm trying to get chntpw.deb to run and I can't. Knoppix 5.1.1 live cd doesn't have that, since Knoppix-STD won't work I'm trying to use knoppix 5.1.1.
I've mounted both drives and tried to extract the chntpw file from the package on my usb. When I go to run chntpw. it says :bash :chntpw is not a file.
I'm doing something wrong. Can someone please give me some direction. I'm running this all from root@tty1[]#

Partially done
Okay had a bit of trouble but I think I got most of it. Still can't get the STD cd to work so I worked with 5.1.1
After I had extracted out the utility from the usb drive. ( I had some trouble mounting /dev/hda1 kept saying nonempty drive but the /dev/sda1 was no problem ) could have been because the usb is FAT and hda1 is NTFS, not sure but anyhow I extracted chntpw.deb like this:
First had to convert the .deb to .tgz and then put the utility into the /usr/sbin sub directory
# alien -to-tgz chntpw_<ver>.deb
# tar xvzf chntpw<ver>.tgz /usr/sbin/chntpw
Then I could run it. I didn't realize it needed to be in the /usr/sbin directory to function on the command lines. Anyways I was successful and was able to reset my Windows 2000 password on my old laptop.
