ok here is the deal i have another really nice laptop with windows xp on it. i tried to dual boot into windows and debian and it wouldnt let me into debian. so i tried to put windows back on. while in the process of doing this something locked up and i rebooted. now it wont let me install anything. when i try to boot into windows it locks up at the windows screen then reboots. when i try to boot into dos it locks up at the mup.sys file. i have googled the mup.sys file and it gives me crap. so i made a knoppix cd. it will let me boot into knoppix, but i dont have any privileges as i dont know knoppix's su password. i want to install debian but dont know how to. when i boot into knoppix and run partition image i get three different drives in the menu. i know what two of them are but cant figure out the third and it wont let me do anything as i am not su. please help any way u can.
