When you say "Knoppix hd install", are you talking about using the program link of that name on the Preferences menu? That "install" produces a system that is chroot'd, and really not a very good general use system (it's for re-mastering to make your own version of Knoppix, mostly.) This install produces unpredictable results in ordinary use.

I recommend using the Flash install routine instead - it'll work with your HD, but it requires a FAT32 filesystem on partition 1, so you'll probably want to re-partition using the CD copy of GParted (again on the Preferences menu.) After booting it from this "install", you'll be prompted to create a "permanent store", which will allow operation as if it were a conventional Debian system installed to HD.

Cheers!
