Encountering error during boot

[Falcon22]

Hi all,

I've made a Live-USB to install BT4 to my HD. But I'm encountering a lot of problems. First of all (I think this is the cause of all problems), while I'm booting from the USB a line occurs which sais:

"Loading hardware drivers...iTCO_wdt: failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware"

The boot process however continues and i get a CLI. When try to start X with (startx), I see a few lines and then only a white screen. So I return to my CLI. I thought maybe the solution to my problem was to update and upgrade this distribution and install the right drivers. So I type:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

However this never fully works, because somewhere in the middle there's no free space left on the rootfs on my USB. The root has a size of 1GB. Below you see a screen of the partitioning:



The GUI you are seeing here is on another PC, where the same USB-stick does work correctly. So I think the main cause of this problem is my hardware and not compatible drivers of BT4. Below is a list of the hardware:

CPU: Intel I7 @ 2,33 Ghz
HD: Samsung 600GB
Mobo: Gigabyte ga-ex58-ud5
RAM: 6GB DDR3
VGA: Sapphire Radeon 4870 1GB

I've also tried to install the ATI-drivers directly with:

apt-get install backtrack-ati

But this also returns an error (which I don't have at this moment).

Can anyone here help me here to solve this problem please?

A 1GB root partition won't be big enough, you may need to repartition or use a bigger USB drive...

Allright, and how can I repartition this drive? I think this should be done before I install BT4 to it right?
