Sounds like a bad ISO. You might want to try downloading it again, without any download managers, and re-writing it.

i havent been using a download manager
and my second attempt was downloaded around a friends house
so i know its not my internet connection and on top of that i have just tryed it on a friends pc and it works!
what else do you think it could be?

Did you check the backtrack wiki to see if your machine was on the commpatability list?

There's your problem. The calculated md5 checksum didn't match.

This may occur if you downloaded the ISO using a download manager vice straight from HTTP. Also, an error could have occured during the burning process. It is advisable to burn the ISO at a slow rate (i.e., 4x).

Did you recheck the checksum on your original download? If it's wrong, you can burn 1,000 copies and none of them will work.

Confirm the checksum on your original download. If it's incorrect, re-download.
