If you can't get Knoppix to work, you could try some other Linux Distros, like Debian, Ubuntu or Kubuntu.

wow... people here dont want to help others... that's sad.... almost shameful...

We help people all of the time here. If you had read through existing posts before making your post you would have seen that. Some might have not helped you because when you first posted you posted in the laptops section and gave a subject line that conveyed absolutely no information when in the laptops forum, but your post was moved to the forum where it belonged. Still, it seemed that you were determined on your course of action, so some of us decided it was better to stay out of it and let you try. But there are plenty of warnings around this site like answer #2 that spell out that what you are trying to do is not a proper use for the tool. It would be like you posted asking how to pound in a nail with a screwdrive and someone finally responded that secewdrivers are not the proper tool for that task and you should consider using a hammer, and you respond by saying you can't get the help you want.

By the way. if you follow the link provided, read answer #7 also.
