    UNABLE TO BOOT FROM KNOPPIX CD

    Downloaded

    knoppix_v3.4-2004-05-10-en.iso

    Burned this file to a CD with NERO

    checked BIOS and CD ROM is first in BOOT order

    on BOOT, system goes straight into WIN XP

    copied SBMINST.exe and cwsdpmi.exe to a FLOPPY

    BOOTING with this Floppy in DRIVE a gives "NON SYSTEM DISK, REMOVE DISK and PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE".

    How shall I get BOOTING into KNOPPIX from my IMAGE CD/Boot Disc?

    thanks for any assistance in advance

    P.S. - I'm GREEN as GRASS to anything but WINDOWS, but wanting to learn..... so please be as detailed as needed for me to follow your instructions.

    After burning the cd, did you check the cd's image(md5sum) if its correct? You can check it for instance with http://www.etree.org/md5com.html.

    PULSAR....thanks for the reply.....as it stands now, I'm booting from the CD properly now. Apparently I hadn't burn an IMAGE CD, simply a DATA CD copying the KNOPPIX_3.4-2004-05-10-en.iso file. Now that I've made an IMAGE CD, booting from it is working fine.

    Thanks

    P.S. The hyperlink in your post is "goin' to ATLANTA" (error 404).... just in case y'wanted info like that
