You didn't tell if Knoppix 4.0 worked any better. As to it "returning to Windows" that's not likely. A reboot is the usual fare.

using "moving to linux" book by M.Gagne(and the included knoppix cd),i can use linux fine;BUT according to the book when i shutdown knoppix,i should return to the windows enviornment. i do not.the system
hangs. the surprising thing is that i can not shut down my machine EVEN with the on/off button. i have to disconnect the electricity with the wall switch!!!!!!
windows98se/plenty storage,plenty ram/system in good
condition.
