Hi,

I have pulled version 3.8.1 down the wire as people say it is such a handy, bootable utility CD for Windows repairs

There seems to be a lot of conflicts on how to burn it to CD so you can boot from it though. Anyone had a success/failure when trying to do this?
The missus has got plenty of tea coasters otherwise I would have a go straight away

do you use nero? if you dont you should, nothing compaers to it


put a blank cd in, open nero, cancel the wizard thing

goto 'Recorder' and sellect 'Burn Image' locate the .iso file, make sure finalise is checked then burn away


its pretty self explanitory

 

Ryan,

As I thought.
There seems to be a lot of people (from googling) saying you have to adhere to this and that......

Thanks

 

Just used Nero to burn the ISO image from the Knoppix folder but get the message " The entered block size does not correspond to the image length. Do you want to correct or ignore the problem"

Can't see why it wont burn the iso

 

did it come with an md5 file? check the file wasnt corrupted during download?

 

So far all I have found is this.
If you're burning Knoppix from an ISO download, you'll need a 700MB CD-R disk, as it won't fit on a 650MB CD-R.

I use bart for certain things too, its great and really customisable (fits on a mini CD too, wallet sized!)
however i like the feature set thats already available with knoppix, and it helps in those instances that windows just cant find something (if its there, knoppix usually finds it

 

Must have been corrupted. Downloaded again and it burned perfectly to CD

 

Thanks for all your input guys.
Taking a look at Bart too.

 

You might also find this interesting boyce. It a review that our own snoppy51 wrote on a book called knoppix hacks. He was really impressed with it.
