But when I restart the PC after installation it boots into windows 7 automatically without asking to choose my operating system(i.e windows 7 and Backtrack 5 r3).

I have been trying to find some good information on how to install backtrack to my external drive but there isnt much about it. I have asked at the backtrack forums but nothing from them yet. I decided to ask here since backtrack is based on ubuntu.

I installed Backtrack 5 from a Live CD yesterday and while installing, i closed my laptop to let it run while I sleep. But then I remembered my friend told me the plastic of his computer melted this way, so i opened it again. It put it on power save, and somehow the installation was interrupted. The day after, I tried again and this time it worked.

Hello everyone,
