Using knoppix to boot Windows xp
Hi,

I am trying to fix a booting problem under windows "searching boot record from IDE 0" I looked at a few other website and one solution was given by using knoppix as a boot device and then load windows. Unfortunately knoppix V5.1 does not load, I get the knoppix main menu page with the option f2 and f3 but that's it when I select boot and dark blue screen appears and nothing.... Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

Graphics Card is imported from another PC and it is a MSI, unfortunately I have no way of knowing what card it is.....
