Hmmm...

That rieserFS PH knoppix file is causing boot problems but even with r/w set for the partition I can't delete it.

I created another one on a FAT32 partition but PH/knoppix prefers the Linux FS over the M$ FS. Go figure

If I absoutely have to, I'll delete the whole rieserFS parition in w2k. Drastic but it'll work.
