So....
I dont know why Im having such a difficult time now but I'm trying to get a bootable cd working by burning the knoppix iso to it.

I had a working disc last year but it snapped in my pocket so I'm trying to remake it. I lost all of my programs since then so I'm using an unfamiliar program to burn the iso.

I went through 3 discs so far. First disc I burned would hang on a black screen with a cursor blinking until I turned the computer off.

Second disc gave me the error "isolinux: disk error 20, AX = 427A, drive EF
Boot Failed: Press Any Key to Try Again"

Did a quick google on that and it was suggested that maybe I had a funky download.

So I redownloaded the knoppix iso.

Did a checksum and it verified to be intact by one program but another program froze then said the file MIGHT be corrupted. I ignored that program.

Reburned on disc 3.

Same isolinux error.

I dont think its the iso file itself causing the issue. But I'm not sure what else it would be... maybe error while burning the iso from having too high of a write speed? This is pretty frustrating and I would love to have some insight on this topic so I can fix it and get Knoppix working again.


Hopefully Misantropia sees this and could offer some help. :icon32:

Who puts CDs in their pockets?

Who doesn't?

Can I ask what the burning program is? I've never had an issue with deepburner free ed. Also, I've seen a run of 3 or better bad discs in a set of really inexpensice blank CD's.

Give this free app a go: http://www.imgburn.com/

Me.

What brand of disks?

I don't either. In fact, you're the only person I've heard mention carrying discs in a pocket.

That was just some dry humor.

iso recorder is what Im using to burn the iso. I also tried out MagicISO which resulted in the black screen with the blinking cursor.

And thank you I certainly will. I have to go hunt down a blank disc now :icon26:

(Posted using Knoppix :lub: )

I had a similar problem trying to burn the latest Knoppix with Nero 7...

Turned two discs into coasters and caused my drive to do that thing where it refuses to respond at all, and had to reboot.

It worked when I saved the image to the harddrive as a Nero image file, and then burning that to the disc.

Something funky going on with this ISO me thinks…

the non-responsiveness happened the first time I tried getting the new knoppix iso to work.


Discovered the cause of the isolinux errors I was getting with the next two CDs. The new CDs I borrowed from a friend were a few MBs shy of the regular 700MB discs I WAS using. So the burn would cut off leaving Knoppix around 10-20MB incomplete.

Went home and got another 700MB disc and it burned fine.

ook....so knoppix was running fine this morning but now I try to load it up and it scans for USB devices, then tries to access the knoppix filesystem on the CD.
Says there's an I/O error with /dev/hdc

I'm starting to get irritated. :icon33:

Time to go test other computers.
