That's my computer he's talking about. I recently managed to fix the problem (it had something to do with the disk, I just kept making disk images until one worked) and actually managed to install Knoppix onto the hd. Unfortunately, in the process of trying to get Windows to work, Knoppix crashed. (Windows won't recognize the 80GB hard drive because the bios won't - if anyone has any ideas on how to trick Windows on that, please let me know.)
And now the Knoppix boot floppy disk is broken again, giving the same errors, or else something along the lines of "Invalid boot. Please insert next disk." Any idea what's causing the problem?
