Your problems with a HD install in not unusual. Read the HD Install Howto and see why we recommend to not install Knoppix to the HD. And if you so choose to install Knoppix to the HD, see also HD Install: Types of installation for why the Debian method is the preferred method.

For a visual walkthrough of the Knoppix 4.0 HD install (which I personally do not recommend) see http://www.virtualacuity.com/james/k...-other/knop40/

**EDIT** You will probably not see much help unless someone else also has a beginner HD install of the 4.0 DVD.
