A little more info would be helpful.

What do you mean by "the knoppix cd Ruined my CD-Rom drive.........."? - is it set to boot in the bios? Will it run any cd? Without info, we really can't help.

A little more detail would be nice. How did it 'ruin' your harddrive, what happens when you boot up? And also, how did knoppix 'ruin' you cdrom? Did the disk break in there or why can't you just physically take it out?
