Had unexpected visitors today, so i couldn't fiddle with it. Tomorrow i'm going to buy a 2,5 to 3,5 ide adapter and put the hdd into my desktop computer.
Still, thanks, to all those who were kind enough, to put their brain into gear, to help me.

Which laptop do you use?
It's a Gericom X5.
Which optical hardware do you use?
DVD-ROM/CDRW drive, CD/DVD media and used burner and burn application?
The tryed Knoppix/Kanotix and PE CD vary greatly in age. And so does the used Burner. Burnsoftware has always been Nero, though different versions. Also the manufacturer varies from samsung to memorex to verbatim to tdk to medion.
Which media do you use for Knoppix?
CD-R and CD-RW
Which media do you use for PE?
CD-R and CD-RW
Do you use different CD/DVD media manufacturer for Knoppix/PE? Name the ATIP.
Most CD-R are Samsung, So there are a few instances in which PE and Knoppix are on the same kind of CD.
Try high quality CD media and use ImgBurn to burn the ISO image, use a middle speed.
Which are High quality?
btw. I've tryed the older PE because those were created on slower burners, which usually leads to higher readability. But no change.
Does a default XP installation CD boot?
I didn't try.
Which boot loader do you use currently?
Knoppix use Isolinux as boot loader.
Try Isolinux to launch the PE too.
For PE i use the default M$ Bootloader.
