When booting - receive 'Input not supported'

[Harry Kuhman]

...I downloaded Nero and failed in four attempts to get it to produce the bootable disk required. Then I read John's suggestion for ImgBurn and downloaded that - it went without a hitch.

Glad you got it working. Sorry to hear you had a problem with Nero, but you don't give enough information for me to understand what went wrong. But I've used several versions of Nero on many different computers and they all worked fine for me. Key concept is to be sure to use a "burn image" option and not a "make bootable" option or not just drag the ISO file onto the file space (which would make a disc with a copy of the ISO file on it, not a full bootable file system). If you want I'll try to help you work out why Nero didn't work for you, but it sounds like you have worked around this problem.

I hoping that the new version has resolved your original problem.

Thank you John and Harry.
Reading the downloading FAQ makes it sound so simple. I downloaded Nero and failed in four attempts to get it to produce the bootable disk required. Then I read John's suggestion for ImgBurn and downloaded that - it went without a hitch.
I now am the proud owner of a Knoppix V5.3.1 which BOOTS UP PERFECTLY.
Thanks again

Glad to hear you got it working, and can boot knoppix on your new machine.

When you get tired of running from the DVD... pm me and I'll whip up a 5.3.1 version of a script that sets up knoppix to run from the iso file... and uses your windows boot menu to give you the choice. Maybe I'll do that tonight. Running Knoppix that way is so much faster and doesn't beat up your dvd drive. (Now where did I put those files...? lol.)
