With the total lack on information you have provided, it would impossible to give you any meaningful advice.

However:

1. Check the MD5 of the download
2. Try other bootmodes from the menu
3. Try using the cheetcodes from the wiki
4. Check your hardware against the HCL on the wiki
5. Check the forum for other people with similar hardware and whether they have had any problems and what solutions they found.
6. The OS installed on the machine has no effect on BT at all

If none of that helps, then post back including full and detailed information of hardware, steps taken, any errors and their associated messages.

Sounds like the login screen is there but you cant see it ,when you boot and get the black screen ,simply type root and press enter,then type toor and press enter,then type startx and press enter.
