I have zero knowledge in Linux platform. please help me to intall knoppix on my laptop dual boot with my XP. I have 3 parititons:
C: XP OS
D: Free
E: Data drive
All are in NTFS. I want to install knoppix on D drive as singel parittion, dual boot with XP but i want to use my XP boot loader to select OS, SO if in case something happens, I can boot from XP and still my laptop is ok.

Please help me how to install it in step by step procedure....

What should be FILE FORMAT on my D drive so it will be detected by knoppix?
I need to boot from FLOPPY because my external CD drive is not bootable for its USB type of drive.

Please help.. thanks...
