Live CD problems

I am trying to use Knoppix Live CD/DVD to retrieve files off my hard drive. However, when I boot up and get to the screen with the multi colored text I'm running into a problem. Its get through everything until it says

Looking for CD in: /dev/hdc

The console blinks for awhile and then seems to just stop. There is no apparent activity whatsoever. I've tried both the CD and DVD versions with the same thing. Any ideas?

What speed did you burn the CD at?

Well, assuming that you confirmed the md5 checksum to know that the download was good, that is likely your problem. It really needs to be burnt at low speed (I suggest 4x). See answer #1 for more details.
