HD Install working or not?

[imported_BaconZombie]

Has anybody tried the HD install from the USB version?

[dr.dragonfire]

I did an Install of the USB Version on a new vmware machine.
Created a blank disk, gave him two partitions. One formated as ext3, one as linux swap. HDD install worked fine for me in this setup.

First look aof BT3 is really amazing

Hope this Helps,

DVD hd install weird stuff, had lilo problems like the framebuffer pic not showing up and booting in a low resolution no show stoppers, graphical installer works great, slapt conf needs updating

I've got exactly the same problem. Framebuffer is not working. I can access only to the KDE interface after the execution of startx.

Yes. Works brilliantly.

Installed from DVD straight over a dual boot Windows XP | BT2 installation. Installed straight to main BT2 partition and kept original lilo.mbr to ensure it still dual booted.

Worked a treat - everything in BT2 home directory is kept intact and available in the new installation, obviously any installed app's are lost. Dual booting still works therefore keeping the original MBR worked a treat.

Only problem I have noticed so far is I can't change the keyboard layout to GB - keeps telling me 'error changing keyboard layout to gb'. Will look into that when it becomes a major problem rather than a small nuisance. :-)

Other than that went well.

Nice one guys, cheers.

Hi,

I've got a DELL Latitude D610 with Windows XP SP2 and three partitions :
/dev/sda1 * => boot XP
/dev/sda2 => partition NTFS
/dev/sda3 => where I want install BT3

After this I ran "BackTrack Installer", choose /dev/sda3 for the install, no problem for copying the files.
I tryed after to make this partition bootable with :
fdisk /dev/sda
a
3
w
q

after fdisk -l look like that :
/dev/sda1 * => boot XP
/dev/sda2 => partition NTFS
/dev/sda3 * => where I want install BT3

but it asked me for reboot. After the reboot Windows start normally, I had no choice for starting BT.
I told me perhaps the BT Installer do not install lilo, so I ran liloconfig, new header, add windows partition, add linux partition, and when I try to install : error, I'll surely have to start with a external boot disk ...
After I type lilo => error /boot/map~ read-only filesystem !

So now I can run Windows, have BT installed on /dev/sda3 but I'm unable to install Lilo properly to run BT.

Some idea ?

Thanks
