hello, i'm new to bt and i don't speak good english (but i'm quite used to gnu/linux and the shell ; )
as the title says how can i make the iso of bt4 (or bt3) boot directly from hd (no working cd reader and no boot from usb)? i know that there are some ways to make grub2 boot from an iso lying ok hd, but i couldn't manage to get it work . . .
thanks for the help!

vm as virtual machine? no my notebook is a pentium2, not a good idea to virtualize!
i want to boot from an iso on the file system, i don't want to edit partitions! (due to damadged sectors on the hard drive)
now i use grub 1 to boot grub 2 and i'd like to boot backtrack from the iso...
May be, Now it's useless but:
Here is my configuration to boot from ISO with BT3 in Grub2:
menuentry "BackTrack 3 ISO=bt3-final.iso"{
loopback loop (hd0,10)/thot/bt3-final.iso
linux (loop)/boot/vmlinuz slax from=/thot/bt3-final.iso root=/dev/ram0 irqpool
initrd (loop)/boot/initrd.gz
}
(hd0,10) is the number of my partition and /thot/bt3-final.iso is the path to the file.
Did you look here? The link to this thread appears on the first screen of the BackTrack 4 General Support forum... not exactly hard to find.
