Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
no there is no desktop icons
We need more information. Go to a root terminal window. and type fdisk /l (letter L, lower case). This will tell you what hard drives KNOPPIX is seeing and how they are partitioned. It gives us more to diagnose. Right now we assume there are either 1) no recognizable hard drives or 2) they have no partitions that are understood by Linux.
i did that and it said "unable to open /l" (L)....On my other computer it works fine....does this mean my hard disk isnt recognissable?
Actually it's fdisk -l and not fdisk /l. (lower-case L in both)
