cannot hdd install /w knoppix-installer

[rushman8282]

hi all,

i have downloaded knoppix 3.7 and tried to hdd install without success. i have hda1 installed with windows xp /w ntfs partition and i want to install knoppix on hda2, but somehow i'm stuck in partitioning window. i have created ext3 partition as hdb1 primary and swap as hdb5 logical. ext3 is primary. i'm new to linux but in the past i have used knoppix 3.4 for a week without any problem. i don't know why suddenly i cannot install it. can anyone help me with this? thanks!!

common suspects
bad cd burnning
md5sum
sometimes swap is not enabled
a reboot is sometimes necessary after qtparted
cfdisk is a powerful partitioning utility run as root
knoppix-installer to do a hard drive install
