Let us know what package or application you are burning the CD with. Also, check that the image you downloaded is not corrupted, by checking its 'md5' sum. If for example you use K3B to burn the iso (as I did today from a download made last night) - it will show you the md5 sum and also the creator of the iso, so as long as the CDR is a 700Mb one (i.e. an 80 minute NOT 74 minute disk) you should be successful.

Before I moved to Knoppix I used Roxio on W98SE to burn my first Knoppix iso without problems. Please give more information!
