So,

I downloaded KNoppix, and extraceted it (on win xp), so that I could burn the disc, and use knoppix to rescue some data off another comp.

I popped the disc in, and made sure that it was set to boot from cd first.
it still booted into the OS, that is full of problems.


So i burnt the zipped/compressed image to the disc thinking thats how it was supposed to be, and that gave the same result.

So my question is: How do I arrange Knoppix so that I can burn it, and then use it?

I tried the FAQ, and couldn't find anything there. Any help would be appreciated.
