Knoppix won't boot
Hey guys

Before my computer got changed from an AMD Athlon to a Celeron, knoppix (v. 3.7) booted up and worked perfectly fine. But now when I load knoppix into the drive and reboot, it just loads into windows. Anyone know why?

Cheers

Check boot options in BIOS and see if CDROM is setup as boot device before HD.

Yeah that should work. It happened to me. Just enter BIOS (click delete when the system starts up) and change positions with the hd and CD drive so the CD drive loads first.

Hopefully you will see a message like this,

Hit _____ to Enter Setup

Or something to that effect during bootup.
