Hi, my 18gb HD on my Laptop crashed 7 days ago. I found this very useful OS Knoppix and I am most greatful for it. Now i can access my CPU again and I can also access my HD again.

There is one problem left though... I want to save some backups from my HD to my external CD writer. The problem is that when i have started a new project in K3b and selected all the files i want to burn and finally clicks "Burn", everything stops. All the meters stands on 0%, eventually the "Elapsed time" counts but nothing more happends. 4 times out of 5 the computer hangs and i have to reboot again. I havent been able to burn one single CD...

K3b finds my external CD burner, the usergroup is Knoppix and that group have burn rights. I have mounted my HD and fixed so that its writable and not only readable. Is there anyting more i have to do?

Please explain in as simple terms as possible, course' im a newbie at Knoppix. Thanks alot for helping me out =)

Best regards
jhn
