I'm booting Knoppix on an old Laptop, it's bios can only see HDs up to approx 6G. The fitted HD is 20G, to circumvent the bios limitation I use a driver supplied with the Seagate drive. The drive has 2 FAT32 partitions on it with the bootmanager from W2k, W98 is the primary OS.

Knoppix doesn't mount the HD, I can't remember if the bios limitation of only being able to see HDs up to a certain size applies to Linux or not.

There are 2 ways to boot from a CD on my laptop, one is after the Seagate driver has loaded, the other before the driver loads. I tried both, neither method causes the HD to be mounted when booting Knoppix.

Any tips on this?
