You keep using the word install. Are you trying to install Linux to your hard disk, or just put a file there to get past your USB boot problems? If trying to really install Linux to hard disk, I suggest using a distro intended for that, Knoppix really isn't suitable. If just trying to force a boot from a USB disc, we do have some knowledgeable people here who may be able to help, but I would avoid using the term install if you mean boot.
