I have an older Sharp Actius slimline laptop with a 20 gig hd and no cdrom, I've created the boot floppy, and have the knoppix image sitting in c:/knoppix . The laptop is currently running Winxp (argh) and the hd is formatted as 1 big ntfs drive.

Can the boot floppy read ntfs? I get a kernel panic when trying to load up.
Or is there a particular boot string to aim

Cheers,
One
