I'm trying Knoppix live on a Windows XP box, and trying to use K3B to burn a CD (I've never used a CD burner, someone gave me one that supposedly works). The files that I wish to burn are .wav files that I obtained using Azureus in Windows XP- and the .wav files play fine.

I can see the hard drives and Windows files just fine while in Knoppix's file manager- but if I try to burn a CD as per the instructions and pictures, it simply does not see the Windows files, so I can't even navigate to them to "drag and drop." Suggestions?

I've used linux only at the command line, restarting daemons and configuring Apache, etc. at work, but have never used a linux gui, and I don't consider myself linux proficient.

Also, since I've never burned a CD, I don't understand a basic concept that all faqs seem to assume you know- what file extensions are used? I know somewhere I've read that CDs are simply a collection of .wav files. I've also read somewhere that they are actually .iso files. And I'm sure I've read somewhere that they must first be converted to .iso's and then back to .wav and none of this makes the slightest bit of sense to me.

I suspect I'm missing a few facts considered too basic for anyone to even have to explain, but I've also found other message boards where people had the exact same problem, and got no response at all.

Thanks for the help; if it wasn't for my family absolutely requiring Windows for things that have no linux equivalent (vrml), I would have pitched Windows for good 8 years ago...
