If the CD works in other computers and that computer would otherwise be able to run Windows (or whatever else) correctly then I don't know... dirty CD-ROM drive?

markwolfe Veteran Posted March 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 18, 2004 Not sure how to go faster, unless you count random speed differences every time you try. Also try different mirrors. Maybe have a friend try... As for a bad burn.... You should md5sum your download .iso image and check it versus what the website says it should be. Then burn it, and md5sum the CD. (you should probably also md5sum the CD you have already burned. It is the BEST way to see if you have a bad CD) :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron2000 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Wanting to try Knoppix but does it allow access to NTFS drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellBender Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Wanting to try Knoppix but does it allow access to NTFS drives? You can read but not write. Knoppix is great though... Yeah, you should definitely try different mirrors and make sure to do an MD5 after the download (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted March 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2004 Wanting to try Knoppix but does it allow access to NTFS drives? Yes, the Knoppix LiceCD does allow reading NTFS. Oddly enough, the SuSE LiveCD doesn't. :o And, more importantly, it does not support connecting out on samba to a Windows share. It makes SuSE's Live CD visually impressive, but lacking the necessary functionality for data recovery/sharing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have most of your drive partitioned for Windows (it uses a lot more space than Linux), and leave 3-10GB for Linux. (the actual values may depend on your drive size, and how much you think you will be doing in Linux - for me, I use 100% for Linux, and haven't had Windows on my PC for over a year) Your Windows parition can be NTFS, and let Linux read from it and share MP3s or .DOC or .XLS or any other files/documents you have. If you make it FAT, then Linux can even write to it and save files there, too. It is your choice. Then with the blank 3-10GB on your drive, boot up any Linux distro, and it will set itself up nicely for you (even set up a dual-boot option for you). Just put GRUB (or LILO, but I prefer GRUB) into the Master Boot Record (MBR) of your primary (boot) drive. If you decide later to go back to 100% Windows, it is easy to clean your MBR back to the default Windows way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
