Burning Knoppix to a CD

123 Paul · 01-20-2004, 03:12 PM

HI!

I have downloaded "KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.ISO" and burnt it onto a CD, but my computer wont boot off it. (I have the CD as the 1st Boot device)

do I need anything else on the CD? I am using Easy CD Creator 5

should I burn it using mandrake?

thanks!

Using Easy CD Creator

1. From the menu, click on File.
2. Select Create CD From Disc Image from the drop down menu.
3. On the CD creation Setup window, click the Advanced Button, then choose Disk at Once. If you use Track at once, you'll get an unusable CD.
4. From the File Selection window, change File Type to ISO Image Files.
5. Double click on the .iso file to be burned.
6. Click on the Burn CD icon on the File Menu.

How far do you get exactly? I have an ecs k7s5a that fails, complaining about not finding a second processor, if I don't turn apic off in the bios.

I have used nero in windows and k3b in linux to burn isos. Just make sure they are burned as isos to be able to load on boot.

"I dont seem to be able to chage that option"

It might not be an issue in the current version of Easy CD Creator. #2 is the main point. The main thing #4 let you do was see the iso file in the file selection window. If you can already see it and select it, then you don't need to fiddle with that option.

I found an option "burn bootable CD" and did that and it still did not work!!!!

my bin is full of CD's now :lol

Hi,
I dont know if you finally succeeded, but I have just managed to get a bootable CD working with Roxio Easy CD creator 5.
I unsuccessfully tried to make a bootable CD with floppy and then with no emulation, then I created a CD from the iso image and it worked as a bootable CD

Start Easy CD Creator
File | Record CD from image
Select iso images files (rather than the default .cif files)
locate the knoppix image
Record with the default options (mainly disk at once)

Good luck

Pat
