Hey! I got it working, phew.

1. The reason of my BT3 was not working, cause i chose KDE, the first choice. I had to choose KDE VSE or so, i can't remember, i think the third choice. What are the...

By the way, i never could run my BackTrack from USB eventhough i tried all tutorials, i tried various PC's, i tried various USB's. My BIOS is ok, every time i run my USB from BIOS, i get:

aha so its not like other OS. The main difference is, LiveCD does not have the capability of saving changes, unlike USB

Ok, now it make sense. Somebody told me, in reality i only need one partition ext2 or ext3, thats it. I install BT3 USB into it & i run the bootinst file, then everything will be ok. Savings will be...

hm, ok! I got one more question, i'm following one of the tutorials. I saw that after backtrack works from USB, i should go to syslinux.cfg & do some changes, why do we have to do it?

FAT32 =~ 9 GB
EXT2 should be around 7 GB

USB size is 16 GB

FAT32 is...

I have a 16 GB Flash Drive. I changed the settings & set it as local disk, so my Vista recognizes it as a local disk, not removable disk.

After that, i deleted the whole partition & then i made...

hahaha, don't worry i'm not that kind of person. I know its here somewhere, if not! google going to do the job
