Hello,

I'm completely new to this linux thing and thought I would give it a go.

I downloaded Knoppix V4.0.2CD20005-01-23-EN.iso using bit torrent.

I did an MD5 check sum using MD5summer

I burnt this onto a branded CD-R at a slow speed using Nero 7. I got it to verify the data, which it passed with no problems.

However when I boot from the CD i get these messages

Accessing Knoppix CD at dev/hdd

insmod: error inserting 'modules/cloop.ko' -1 Bad file number

I've searched the forum for help and found someone who'd installed new bios and that seemed to help him. He mentioned something about setting his hard drives to legacy in the bios. I'm not quite sure what he meant. The thread is here

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ps I have 2 hard drive, one of which is partioned, with a windows install using NTFS on one half and FAT32 on the other half and the second drive is NTFS. Could this be part of the problem ?

Thanks

Edwin
