    Successfully boots from hard-drive... BUT...

    After a great deal of experimenting with .bat files and what have you I can now boot from a floppy disk straight to Knoppix mounted on the C:\ drive in a Knoppix folder and it will load my previously saved config files quite happily.

    There is only one problem... my burner is no longer recognised and whats more i can't configure it.

    When I was booting from the CD (reading previously saved configs) it correctly identified both my CDRom and the CDburner and it all worked very well. I have changed the root password to one of my own. However when the setup screen appears both drives are shown as readers

    Can someone provide some suggestions please?

    --You probably left out the "hdc=ide-scsi" kernel parms when booting the linux kernel...
