Hi all, I just installed backtrack on my laptop (didnt install bootloader at the end), and I want to manage this distro boot from the boot partition (with Arch owns and grub2 is installed). I simply installed os-prober and then ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the backtrack installation was succesfully detected.
I am planning on having a triple boot setup on my laptop with Windows 7 (soon 8), Ubuntu, and Backtrack. I have read up on setting up dual and triple boot systems, and it seems like some operating systems like to replace the existing GRUB with their own bootloader. Both Backtrack and Ubuntu use GRUB for multi-boot installations. Does it matter what order I install them in?
I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 13.04 on my MacBook and despite selecting the same partition as the Ubuntu root partition to install the bootloader, it installs Grub to the EFI partition under /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi. The EFI partition is being mounted by Ubuntu under /boot/efi.
Hello - I installed the latest Ubuntu as a dual-boot with XP... I have decided that I'd rather have Backtrack... I have burned the iso... question: Can I safely install BT5 by just telling it to use the Ubuntu partition? Will it just reformat that partition, with a fresh grub? Or do I have to do things the inconvenient way by deleting the partition, using XP boot disc, running fixmbr... etc?
I just installed 12.10 on a drive that already has an xp installation. When I boot the computer, I get the grub menu and select Ubuntu. The screen just goes black and I have my mouse pointer, but it just stays that way. I can boot into xp with no problem.
I choose custom partitioning and added a 4GB swap partition right after the xp partition.
Hi all!
I would like to preface this thread saying that I am not incompetent when it comes to computers, I have seen that some people have the view that if you are unable to install backtrack, then you shouldn't even bother using it.
Anyway to continue with my problem.
As title, I want to know how to install Backtrack 5 to USB. I have a 16GB USB. Should I Split partition, one for install BackTrack, and one for daily use? Note that I want Full Install, like install Ubuntu to HDD, not live. Because LiveUSB, when shutdown, every documents on that session will be deleted. So I want to know how to install Full Backtrack 5 to USB, and can boot on other Machine.
Ok so i've installed dual boot, windows 7 and backtrack4, grub loads and when i boot backtrack i get errors, I researched the errors and from what ive gathered the bootloader is installed on the wrong partition, at the end of the backtrack install if i click advanced i can specify bootloader partition.
Which one would work, what partition is the bootloader normally on
