Installing BackTrack 3 Final
Now that your HDD is partitioned, you can install BT3F manually, see :
http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=14751
But in this tutorial, we will install BackTrack 3 Final automatically with the Installer which was provided with BackTrack 3 Beta, since BackTrack 3 Final does not come with any installer.
a/ Download the BackTrack Installer here :
b/ Launch the Installer
-
Install BackTrack to : /mnt/bactrack
- Select Installation method : Real
- Do not restore Original MBR after lilo
Booting BT3F and configurating LILO
Now backtrack is installed on your HDD, reboot and cross your fingers. The LILO Boot menu should show up at startup but you will notice that you will be unable to boot Windows or any other OS than BackTrack.
To be able to boot Windows, you have to make changes in the etc/lilo.conf file:
# cd /
# nano /etc/lilo.conf
The main changes are indicated in BOLD :
—————–
boot = /dev/hda
prompt
timeout = 1200
change-rules
reset
vga = 773
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = current
label = BackTrack
read-only
#Windows Boot possibility :
other = /dev/hda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/hda
—————–
Do not forget to apply the changes :
# lilo -v
The Dual Boot should now be operational.
You can reboot your computer.
