I was only asking considering the fact that i burnt knoppix at the same speed at that ran fine (which would lead me to question if speed really is the issue at this point) and i am almost sure it is not a sata problem because INSERT uses a 5.1.1 knoppix core. Like i said i'll try the speed issue first, could you recommend any other solutions that could be used for system recovery, tech tools, ntfs repartitioning?
