Boot Error when booting BT4 from USB

[testakis]

Hello,

I am having problems booting from the USB when installing the BlackTrack 4, I am getting the message Boot Error and nothing happens.

I follow the steps installing BT4 using unetbootin-windows-442.exe after I formatted my USB with FAT32.

My USB dive is 4 GB, I use Windows 7 and my system supports booting from USB.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I don't think 4Gb is large enough, unless it's installing as a live dvd.

I don't think 4Gb is large enough, unless it's installing as a live dvd.

The install was successful though. It only took 2.28GB.

These are the instructions that I followed USB Live | BackTrack Linux - Penetration Testing Distribution

Thanks

Unetbootin got some problems with vista because MS has deterred anyone from editing any MBR (even with the "open as administrator" crap). I guess MS did the same with win7...

Try in windows xp or in any GNU/Linux distro.

If that is the case then has anyone make it work with windows 7?

I have the same problem... Is there a problem that forces changes to USB sticks with Win7 or do we just have to uninstall this piece of SHIT operating system and go back to the uber slimmed down pwn version of XP??

Go ask someone else. We don't need your attitude here.

i've got Win7Pro on my laptop and i can easily boot from USB with BT4Final on it, and it also is 4GB in size.
Was about to make one with BTR1 but since in tutorial it says that 4GB is not enough i gave up.
Also I had had couple of problems like you, followed few of tutorials to get one working, but now i only use tutorial from this site.

Still have the problem.

I get a little further into the boot process after I burned the img to a dvd, but ultimately the same thing happened.

"tg3: problem fetching invariants of chips, aborting"

Any of the selections at the start of the boot process will lead to this tg3 error.
