Install Knoppix to the HD

Alright, thanks for letting me know about that, can you give me a little tut on how i would get linux and windows xp on the same machine?

You may want try to boot from the ISO cd image file stored in your hdd, cf:

I use it every day. You will have the same limitations as booting from the cd/dvd except that it boots way faster.
And you may consider the use of a persistent home directory to prevent loosing your data every time you boot ...
This approach is the only "clean" way I found to run Linux on a corporate computer
where the install of an other OS is simply not allowed
and where all traces of Linux can be simply removed
in a couple of seconds from a running windoze (like in a Panic mode) !
My 2 cents,
