We need more info. Look at your request for help from my point of view: I have no idea what your system is like. Is it s laptop? A server? A desktop? On what hardware? Pentium4-3.0GHz? Pentium3 700Mhz? What version of knoppix? What is the exact error message?

Without more info there is no possible way any of us can help you.

Smart Boot Manager or XOSL.

From My computer won't boot from CD. What should I do?

A: Get the Smart Boot Manager, and install to floppy, this should let you boot from any bootable CD. http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/download.html. If you want to install from windows, download the sbminst.exe and run it from the Command Prompt like :

Code:

sbminst.exe -d 0

to install to floppy drive.
