Dell M70 and Knoppix

I recently bought a Dell Precision M70 Laptop with Windows XP pro, and I recently discovered that Knoppix LiveCd's and other Knoppix-based systems (Damn Small Linux USB boot, etc) don't work on my laptop. I searched around the net and found out that no Dell M70 works with Knoppix or other media-booting linux distros. When I try to load a knoppix cd I get the "Welcome Screen" that asks me for any variations on installation, but after I go ahead with the default installation the laptop just black screens and freezes, forcing me to reboot. Does anyone know anything I can do to use a bootable media form of linux? Thanks.
