I am trying to use Knoppix to access an old laptop drive that has Windows user accounts that are protected by Windows XP.

I burned my CD from an ISO download. It pops up fine, I hit enter it finds USB/firewire devices, enables DMA acceleration for hda and hdc. Then it says "Looking for CD in: /dev/hdc" for a long time.... it seems to freeze.

I get an error message: "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell."

I have a HP Pavillion dv5000 laptop. This is Knoppix 5.0.1.

Suggestions?
