Hi.

I'm having a Windows problem with my hp Pavilion ze5200 laptop (it stalls/stops doing anything at the XP loading screen) and I am hoping to use Knoppix to get at a few of the files I have on there. I have the BIOS set to boot from the CD drive.

I used Nero to burn a bootable disc from the .iso image, and it burned it just fine with no issues. When I put it in my laptop and restart, it does boot up, but nothing happens. It start out by saying "Caldera-[something]" and then A bunch of text and such scrolls by, and I end up at a line that says

[DR-DOS] A:\>

Am I doing something wrong? Is it supposed to go there? Am I just an idiot?(cetainly )

I tried to read the FAQ, but it appears to be down If this would be more appropriate in the laptop forum, my apologies and please just move it there.

Your help is appreciated!

EDIT: Oh dear, this should have probably gone into the MS windows and new to linux forum, eh?
