Hi everyone, i just started using Knoppix today. Reason for use is because the windows folder on my desktop are corrupted and so i cannot log in properly (safe mode doesnt work either). As a result, im attempting to use knoppix to access my important files b4 backing them up. Then making a clean windows install.

So, i burn the iso onto a CD using the laptop, then powered on my desktop and inserted the CD.

However, after a minute or 2, the knoppix screen freezes. These are the messages i c, b4 the freeze.

Welcome to Knoppix 6 based on MICROKNOPPIX!
