STUCK: can't boot knoppix from HD
I have recently removed Mandrake from my HD, as I was strongly disappointed. When I tried Knoppix-live, I decided to install it! But...
I have Win XP on first Hard Drive, and I have successfully installed Knoppix 3.3 on second one, creating the bootloader LILO the same partiton (root). The installation went fine, execpt I had an error when Knoppix asked me to write data on a floppy (it didn't do it). When I rebooted I realized I cannot access to Linux, due to the fact that my Compaq Presario BIOS is not able to boot on second HD (only to C, and I have no bott-floppy. Now I am stuck... Cannot make the bootloader on first HD due to NTFS, cannot load the boot from second HD due to BIOS.... Anyone knows how to put lilo an floppy (recall, I can't booot HD installation, but only live CD...)

The morphix boot disk is useful as a general-purpose booter for cases like this when the BIOS is too stupid.

That my friend is an incorrect assumption. You surely can install lilo to MBR but if you like booting a floppy then by all means enjoy!
