As a total newbie I love Knoppix; so much that I now want it on my hard drive. I've tried numerous times to install on various hard drives, both blank and formatted from a previous Linux install, but each time when I get to the partioning section of the installl I end up with the following:

"Opened disk is read only - you have no permission to write" and I have to abort.

I haven't seen this problem listed on the Forum and I don't get the message when I install other distros eg. Mandrake, PC Linux, Cobind.

I really want Knoppix on my hard drive (no dual boot, just Knoppix) as it has everything I want. Please help this total newbie.
