Help? Sure.
I realize what you have there is in German but that is it. I have no idea what it means and no idea how to proceed. You will probably have to start at the very begining anf that involves learning how to download & burn. We have written up answers to man Frequently Asked Questions & tips/tricks for both downloading the CD and burning it. See http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Downloading_FAQ to get started.
If you need specific help in order to download the correct file then you should download either
1.) KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN.iso 700MB and KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN.iso.md5 1KB
or
2.) use bittorrent to download: KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN.torrent

1: First partition
2: Second partition
3: Third partition
4: Fourth partition
I have no idea what odd PC behavior you are observing or are experiencing. Knoppix is a live CD designed to be non-destructive to the PC unless it is forced to do so. In almost all cases, you can use Knoppix from the CD and when you are done just reboot and nothing will have been modified on the hard drives. Unless you chose to install it or chose to do something dangerous like partition or format then it is very safe.

I glad you got it sorted out but realize that Knoppix would not edit your mbr without you telling it to.

You need to download the English version, the one with EN in the name. See answer #1.
