This tutorial shows how to INSTALL Backtrack 4 to a VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) in VMWare Player or VMWare Workstation along with VMWare Tools. These steps can be used to install any Linux OS or even Windows OS. Keep in mind, this isn't the same as referencing an ISO directly but rathering installing the OS as you would on your hard-drive while still remaining Virtual.

I also go over how to change your resolution in Backtrack, login as a root user, and install VMWare Tools.

  • how come the mouse calibration is wrong

  • Ah, there we go. Try installing VMWare Tools. Usually that resolves Mouse issues. I go through those steps near the end of the tutorial.

  • Thanks for the tutorial!

  • @brian, just type your password anyway, then presse enter. it won't show on your screen, but it IS working.

  • When I type in "sudo su", nothing happend. The console just jumps to a new line. Nothing happens. As if I just pressed enter without typing anything.
