No, Knoppix has absolutely no problem booting when there are NTFS partitions. It must not write to them (for their sake, not for Knoppix's), but Knoppix defaults to opening any partition read only, so that's not really an issue. And it doesn't open the partitions until asked (except on old systems with too little memory, where it might ask you first and then create a swap file on a FAT partition if it needs one).

You just jumped in here with an answer to a question I didn't ask, so I really don't know what your situation is. It could be you didn't check an md5 sum and have a bad download from a mirror. It could be that you burned the CD at too high of a speed. It could be that you thought you knew what to do and extracted the files from the ISO with some tool like ISO buster and then burned them to a CD. It might even be that you need cheat codes, but you haven't given us much to go on yet.
