Thank you for your patience!
rawrite.exe is a DOS utility program to make boot floppies for people whose CDROM drive does not boot. If you can boot your KNOPPIX CD already you don't need rawrite. However, you will need the boot disk when you're done copying KNOPPIX to hda1. The idea is to use the boot floppy to boot the KNOPPIX image from hda1 so you don't need the CD anymore.

OK, so if you can boot the CD without the boot floppy, you can make the boot floppy once you're booted-up in KNOPPIX. Open a shell and issue the following command line.

dd if=/mnt/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot-en.img of=/dev/fd0

dd
copies images of disks (its like burning ISOs on CDs)
if
is the input file
of
is the output file
boot-en.img
is the English language boot disk image
/dev/fd0
is the diskette drive

Let me know if you need to use rawrite instead of dd.

Good Luck!
