Are you sure? I'll grant you that a high speed burn usually will not fail the same way in multiple systems, but I would consider 24x too fast for burning the CD. I also wonder about the other things. Did you really confirm the md5 sum? Did you burn the disc as an image? What do you see when you look at the burnt CD under Windows? What do you mean it was showing the Knoppix icon, just where did you see this icon and what did it look like? You gave the size, but in a very crude way, in the future you would do yourself a favor if you give download file size in exact bytes, not in megs, as a few bytes lost or gained is hard to catch this way. However, if the md5 sum is correct then the the file is good, if you you are not checking the md5 sum then I guess I don't care either.

I don't know what your problem is and you'll need to post more information for anyone to help you, but I would very much like to make a large wager that whatever it is is already covered in the downloading faq.

sir actually the file which i have downloaded is not image file... it was a rar folder which i have extracted in a folder and then ll the files of that file has been burn into a cd...

now wen in a running windows wen i enter a cd the icon of cd drive in my computer change into a penguine's pic..
731,598,848bytes it is the exact size of the cd.....

wat is md5 sum???????


wat more info u want tell me i will give...

No, you are wrong, see answer #1. It was not a rar.

That will not work. Answer #1 explains why.
