Are you sure? I'll grant you that a high speed burn usually will not fail the same way in multiple systems, but I would consider 24x too fast for burning the CD. I also wonder about the other things. Did you really confirm the md5 sum? Did you burn the disc as an image? What do you see when you look at the burnt CD under Windows? What do you mean it was showing the Knoppix icon, just where did you see this icon and what did it look like? You gave the size, but in a very crude way, in the future you would do yourself a favor if you give download file size in exact bytes, not in megs, as a few bytes lost or gained is hard to catch this way. However, if the md5 sum is correct then the the file is good, if you you are not checking the md5 sum then I guess I don't care either.

I don't know what your problem is and you'll need to post more information for anyone to help you, but I would very much like to make a large wager that whatever it is is already covered in the downloading faq.

No, you are wrong, see answer #1. It was not a rar.

That will not work. Answer #1 explains why.

now wen in a running windows wen i enter a cd the icon of cd drive in my computer change into a penguine's pic..

That hardly maters any more, we now know what is going wrong.

wat is md5 sum???????

Are you kidding me? You said thanks but but i have done evrything which is there in answer 1..... How could you have done the md5 test and then later ask this question?
