For this tutorial, just two partitions will be created. This is the partition setup window. Since there are two existing partitions the Windows 7 partitions , the installer will attempt to create the BackTrack partitions as logical partitions, which is just fine. BackTrack, like any Linux distribution, can boot from a logical or primary partition. This is what the same step looks like after the right values have been specified. Click OK to return to the main window.
Back to the main window, click Forward to move to the next step. On the next step, shown here, the installer gives a summary of what it will do, based on the selections you made. And this is also where you specify where you want the installer to install GRUB, the boot loader. In setting up a dual-boot system with Windows, installing it there will overwrite the Windows boot loader, which could cause major headaches for you when you reinstall or upgrade Windows, or install certain anti-virus programs.
That should land you here. Back to the installer summary window, click Install to continue with the rest of the installation. After installation has completed successfully, reboot the computer.
It will boot into Windows, which is expected. To do that, you need another application. You may download it from here. After download, install it in the same way that you would install any other Windows application. After installation, launch it. Now, you are here. This is what the result should be. Exit EasyBCD, then restart the computer. You should now see a boot menu that looks just like this one. Boot into both operating systems one after the other to verify that everything is alright.
Happy hacking. Very useful tutorial. I managed to install Backtrack 5 R3. But, after i used easy BCD to add the bt onto the bootloader list, when i enter into that at boot, all i get is, something like,. Upon my search, i cud only find that it is a problem created by Easy BCD. No lucid explanations anywhere. How can i get rid of it? I wish i could have found you earlier! The problem seems to be with the installer.
Everything works fine in both win7 and BT5r2. I am using 32bit Acer aspire one. No hangs. Yep I have tried BT4 r2 on the same system. And It was working fine. Shutdown reboot all was gr8. I really need help. I accidentaly installed the boot loader on my windows partition instead of the BT5 partition. I went back to my live cd and reinstalled everythign again and removed the previous partition of BT5. Now I am able to boot to BT but not windows.
Did you actually install the boot loader in the Windows partition, that is the C drive, or in the MBR? In backtrack I can still access the windows files. Hey Buddy! Then type: bootrec.
Then restart your pc without backtrack cd , and you will see a screen that says, windows memory diagnostics tools which will finish some sort of operation. Now, go to windows, click start button, right click on My computer and click manage. On the left click disk management.
Then, on the middle bottom you will find on the same line your disk, and the partition created for bt. Right click on the bt partition and click delete volume or something like that.
Enter the same screen, disk management, And right click on bt partition and click on something that will delete it, sort of, to make it unallocated space. Then right click on you disk partition and click expand volume and exapnd it to resize you disk.
Hope This Helps!!! This is my email, if you need any help, just ask me! I just want to clear the fact that in command promt, you have to type: bootrec. But you should still be able to install it successfully.
Also, with root as primary, it will now be sda3 , rather than sda5. Swap will then be sda5 , rather than sda6.
If you have not done so already, highly recommended that you read guide to disks and disk partitions in Linux. I followed all the steps above but when I clicked advanced to specify the boot loader install to root partition the ok button is greyed out!
Please help.. This seems to be a problem with BackTrack 5 R2. Not sure why. Perhaps BackTrack 5 R3, which has just been released, should work, though I have not tried it. Same here. I tried using the r3 but no good. Is it possible if I uncheck install bootloader and install it later in the sda5 using livecd? Will publish it latest tomorrow and follow up with one for Windows 7 soonest. Algorithm is a 3-day conference on blockchain, cryptocurrencies and AI set for Feb.

The last line before it freezes says: fb: conflicting fb hw usage: nouveaufb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver Since it last worked, the only changes I can think of are that the computer is now connected via the ethernet cable to the router, and I upgraded the graphics card to Nvidia.
Improve this question. Renan Not that it helps your current situation, but there are newer versions that might be work looking at, namely Backtrack 5 R3 and Kali. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. You should try to install the driver delivered by Nvidia itself.
You have two different ways to do so: Startx the X's startx If you startx and see some problems, you might want to do this: modprobe -r nouveau modprobe nvidia. Improve this answer. This might seem like a stupid question, but how do I get into safe mode? When the computer first boots up, I have the option of "recovery mode" and then the regular OS. I gave recovery mode a shot, but it fails too.
