Dear ScottyJavea,

I think that the following procedure will solve the issue. I assume that you use grub legacy.

1. Reboot your system.

2. Press the 'C' key in order to get a command line.

3. At the prompt type
Code:
root (hd0,
in followed by the tabulator key. This will show you a list of partitions on your first HDD. Write down the number of your partition formatted with reiserfs.

4. Reboot your system with the Knoppix DVD and edit your menu.lst file.

5. Try out your new boot configuration.

Regards
