Does it drop you at text mode and display any error message? __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

Backtrack is for Linux system administrators, and not a good distro for new users. Try something like Ubuntu to learn how to use Linux. Also, do not revive old threads for new questions, start a new thread of your own. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.
