Backtrack 3 USB install

This is the beginning of a series of videos showing the things I learned setting up Backtrack 3 for myself. I liked the resources available to me, so I thought I would put what I know in one spot.(This video is more of a test, mainly because this is the easiest part of getting started)

I am currently using a Compaq Presario v5000 as my laptop. I mainly intend to use Backtrack for wardriving.

More videos on the way.

I am still learning alot, feel free to criticize and rip on me. I would prefer suggestions, but hey, its the internet, you can do what you want.

@Timothy656 I found out it is due to the boot file! it is searching in hd1 and should be looking in sd0... or something, I forgot. The problem is it looks for the boot drivers in the CD drive and than when it sees it isnt there, it finds it in the USB drive. Just thought I would let you know in case you were interested. I upgraded to BT4, the problem was fixed on the final iso

@mordsgaudimachen Yeah that happens to me! Its normal on some laptops/PC's to do that! Just let it run it will eventually load up :)

hey I watched some other videos on how to do this... My USB boots, but where it says looking for data directory... it hangs up there about 5 minutes before moving on... any ideas on that?

[stdavross666]

You can run this on windows using VMware.
