NOTE: The following method of installation is the simplest available. We have made it in the assumption that you have a Windows installation that is taking up all the space on your disk drive and you would like to resize and repartition the disk drive in order to allow a BackTrack install alongside your Windows.

WARNING: BACK-UP YOUR WINDOWS INSTALLATION FIRST!


  • Let's run through the installer step by step:
