I wanted to Dual Boot Win 7 with BackTrack 5 R1 and met with this problem while booting BT5 R1 Gnome 64-bit Edition. Please suggest me what to do next...Thank you :)

Well, my first suggestion is to check the hardware compatibility list forum and see if your hardware is noted there. Also, have you tried other flavors of BackTrack? Have you verified the MD5 hash of your download?

Hey I had a similar issue but the message I had related to not viewing a live operating system from the USB. Point is - if you are loading from a USB stick - try a different USB port - I believe my USB 3.0 would not work but the USB 2.0 worked perfectly. Found that tip on another FAQ section of the BT site....good luck.
