I realize that the NTLDR is a windows message but knowing that the Knoppix DVD had previously booted up I was at a loss to why it no longer worked.
Sorry I didn't track that you had alread booted the disc ok on this system. But it certainly isn't booting now, and Knoppix could care less what the state of your XP files are, so I am hard pressed to understand what is happening here. It sure sounds like a typical failure of a computer to boot a DVD.
