Hey there mate.
The best way to do this would be with a clean drive.
Knoppix is more orientated towards being ran from a CD and I personally wouldn't run it as a desktop distro, my recommendation is to download ubuntu.
Once you have a desktop distro you want to partition the drive correctly, start gParted (it's included in the ubuntu live cd if you chose a different distro it may be there, if not download the gParted LiveCD) delete the partitions on the drive and create new partitions, remember you need 2 for linux, one for the root filesystem (where everything is installed) and one for swap and then you'll need atleast one partition for windows. Format the root linux partition as ext3 and the windows as ntfs.
Then, install windows (if you install linux first you will have problems with the bootloader and have to restore it) then when windows is set up install linux and you should have no problems.
Hope this helps.
