I would like to remind you that Forum members are advised NOT to revive old threads.

We can't do any good by lamenting on what is not present in knoppix. We are to find an alternative way to make things work. Please keep your calm. Within a short period we would try to have your persistent set on your HDD. Please answer the following queries:

Do you use grub on your computer's HDD?

If you do, how many partitions your HDD has? How many partitions can be free of any data?
