How exactly would I go about making my BT3 persistent?

If you don't want it, at least keep the parts. You can use them if your main PC breaks down. Or, you could back up your computer on the two hard drives. That's what I'd do.

No idea. But apparently, my Knoppix ISO is broken. The multipass works now though, thanks guys! I'm talking to you from BackTrack3 on the new multipass.

Except now I get ................................................................................ ................... Syslinux 3.72 2008-9-25 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin Could not find kernel image: Linux boot:

Ok, that's exactly what the problem is. Let me try rebooting and doing it again. Thanks dude, that cleared up a LOT. Also- it's amazing that I was having trouble in windows, so I went over to BT3 and now I can do it easy.

Wish I'd known that earlier. Ok. So I've got the key running grub. Problem is, I can't select anything. I get the options of finding the menu.lst, the command line, reboot and halt. I have a menu.lst inside the thing, with the following. # Syntax Highlighting for Vim. Line must be a comment. # vim:ft=grub: #splashimage /boot/Hak5.xpm.gz color white light-grey timeout 120 title Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop x86 find --set-root /boot/iso/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso map /boot/iso/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso quiet splash locale=en.UTF-8 -- initrd /casper/initrd.gz boot title «« Back | Track 3 kernel /boot/boot.bt3/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet initrd /boot/boot.bt3/initrd.gz boot title root title Kon-Boot map --mem /boot/floppy/FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) #title Kon-Boot #map --mem /boot/floppy/FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img (fd0) #map (hd1) (hd0) #map (hd0) (hd1) #map --hook #rootnoverify (fd0) #chainloader +1 title root title Grub4Dos Command Line commandline title Restart reboot title Shut Down halt Don't have a picture, however. could that be the problem?

So the PetoUSB is completely unnecessary, as long as the drive is active?

Already active, dude. It's in that last screenie.

Here's a screenshot of stuff I think you'd find helpful in fixing this.

Sorry, forgot to upload. See the earlier post.

It's in my computer.

It's in disk management. Listed as F:/, Health (Active) It's IN the devmanager, but there's no identification. I can narrow it down to what port it's in. So it sees the disk but can't tell what it is.
