Problem about linux (knoppix)?

I have downloaded the 5.1.1 version of knoppix. I use windows XP. I have downloaded the .iso file of knoppix. I read that I have to burn it on a CD. I did it on a DVD but it’s the live cd version of linux. I restarted my computer, and instead of using linux, the windows xp starts, as always. I read I have to go on the BIOS and change the order to startup between the hardrive and the cd player, or something like that. But I don’t know how to enter the BIOS, and when I start my computer, the screen is all dark till windows starts, so I can’t type F12 or another command to access the BIOS. My question is : How can I start up Knoppix? Or, how can I enter the BIOS, and how exactly must I do to change the order of startup between the hardrive and the CD player. Thanks in advance.
Thanks. I could enter the BIOS with F2, but it says that my DVD/CD player would start before the hard drive. Therefore I don’t understand why it doesn’t start. I’m still blocked.
Oh, I think I know what the problem is. It’s because I burned the .iso file as a data file and not an image. I must buy a CD and burn the .iso file on it, as an image, since I can’t from a DVD. Thanks to all.

erase linux from external HDD?

I recently installed Linux Ubuntu on a external laptop hard drive to keep vista on my internal drive. Ubuntu worked fine but there was one problem, the external hard drive had to be present in order to boot windows using Grub. In order to save myself from a future frustration (external drive being damaged or missing).
But my problem is this: now every time that I connect my external HDD (with Ubuntu installed) it doesn’t even show up on “My computer”. So I want to format it to the way it was (clean)
If not through windows, Can someone tell me how to format it throu the Live CD?
