I want to install KNOPPIX on an NTFS drive---help!
Hel;lo...I have a new HDD that was given to me. It had WINXP on it. I formatted that drive and now it is clean. Except its still NTFS!!!! I tried to do a 'KNX-hddinstall' from the KNOPPIX CD but i got a little way thru it and it kept coming up saying "No swap partition found, select another drive". I have 2 HDD's in the computer. The other HDD is a regular WINXP drive. So How Can i install KNOPPIX to this NTFS drive? I have a COMPAQ laptop that had WIN98 on it. KNOPPIX installed on that computer perfectly. But I am still not too sure about the menu screen that comes up with the options, similar to DOS's "FDISK"....maybe I did something wrong. I let knoppix cd boot entirely, bring up a root console and type in "knx-hdinstall" and I get partially thru till i get to the part that asks if I want to "use the current swap partition" or something like that. Please HELP!!!! BOB
