I downloaded Knoppix V4.02 off Bit Torrent, then used the Iso Recorder to burn it to a CD. Fingers crossed I went into (F2 & F12 keys) my BIOS and put the CD ROM first in the boot sequence. No Luck! Nothing I can figure out will get my Dell 8200 booting off the Knoppix CD.
Somewhere I read the SCSI adaptor may be at fault, even though I run Windows XP Pro (SP2), it appears the adaptor can either not hear, or refuse to listen to the boot sequence I set up for it.
So I tried to download and use "Smart Boot Manager" and "XOSL". For the life of me I cannot even get these applets to install! The download sites are too cryptic for the unwashed (myself). When I left click on an exe file I get a DOS like window and an error message saying I have the wrong operating system.
What should I do? Is there a simple minded set of instructions somewhere?
