I must add this happened after I tried some instructions (cheats, etc).
I edited lilo.conf to reflect that hda4 is where the boot info is to be and
was able to save this in the knoppix partition (hda4). I did something wrong, I suspect. I am having a hard time to get the lilo.conf copied to the winxp partition.

You cannot do this -----> "I am having a hard time to get the lilo.conf copied to the winxp partition." lilo.conf is the configuration file for lilo and belongs on your linux partition. lilo.conf is obviously not right so let's fix it. Here's what you do:

It seems you installed Knoppix to /dev/hda4.
Boot Knoppix
mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4
xedit /mnt/hda4/etc/lilo.conf

Paste your entire lilo.conf file here in the forum. Also explain how your drive is partitioned and what OS is on which partition. Without that information I think no one can really help.
