ok,

for all info about your lenovo search on the wiki , is the first resource.


for the installer...

on bt2 exist , on bt3final don't exist , but if you want the HD-installation follow the thrade on theRemote Exploit Forums named "install bt3 from the shell"...

OR ...

download the script here


save on *kmdr , and run-it.

Ok well i'm having an issue aswell!

I'm trying to dual boot BackTrack and windows xp pro SP3..

1st I made my partitions

hda1 = windows
hda2 = Linux
hda3 = Linux Swap

and when i: mkdir /mnt/backtrack mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/backtrack

it gives me some error saying "cannot find /dev/hda2" .... I dont get it! I didn't have this problem when I installed it when there was no windows partition...

Any suggestions? I googled it but found nothing

Check the output of fdisk -l command. It could be /dev/sda2 instead of hda2.

mkdir /mnt/backtrack mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/backtrack

Are you executing above code as a single line?
It should be :

mkdir /mnt/backtrack
mount /dev/hda2  /mnt/backtrack

no its on 2 different lines, i just didnt want to put it on another line.

but yes its on 2 different lines, I just dont get it. When I didnt have windows installed I had:

hda1 = Linux
hda2 = Linux Swap
hda3 = Linux

and i could mount and everything was fine and then i found out my laptop wouldnt output to my TV while using BackTrack for somereason, so i decided to do Windows XP / Backtrack 3 on my laptop so i can watch me downloaded movies haha

I just don't know what It could be...?
