shell as a root: knx-hdinstall
then choose the right hd, the 3Gb one.
(I hope you have 3 hd and not 3 partition...but it doesn't matter)

Set the BIOS to boot from CD (will only work if your BIOS is understands how to do that of course but virtually all of them sold in the last 5 years or so should be able to do it)

forget what it said...boot your Knoppix Live cd throught your cdrom.
to do this you need to set your bios on cdrom booting. once you booted knoppix, open a shell as a root and run the command "knx-hdinstall". a GUI will help you to install your cool knoppix in your cool hd...
okey-doki? ^_^
