  1. wow that's pretty embarrassing about the typo! thanks for picking me up on it ok i'll have to check that out and see if I can get it on a partition of the device instead then, it would look a lot cleaner. I found ophcrack pretty easy, i've got a folder /ophcrack_root/ and also /tables/ in the root directory and I just pulled them straight from the ISO. This is kinda the cheap way to do it though. thanks for the grub4dos link i'll check it out what system recovery software do you use?
  2. Hey, getting Trinity to work was a real pain in the ass for me so i'm writing a guide on how to do it. Most of the resources on how to do this were already here but separated in different posts and it took a while to find all the info i needed to get it done. So go get TRK http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?front_id=12&wpid=5 burn it to a CD using K3B, Nero or something, boot the CD and wack your target USB in. When the TRK menu comes up select the first option. once you get to the command prompt type: fdisk -l You'll get a bunch of output of all the storage devices on your computer, but you're looking for your USB device in this list, it should be something (but not exactly) like this: Disk /dev/sdd: 3961 MB, 3961520128 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 481 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0217934c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 * 1 482 3868640+ 6 FAT16 Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(480, 254, 63) logical=(481, 159, 62) I know that's my USB because it's 3961 MB which is about 4gig, the size of my USB. Now you have to remember what Disk it's called. In this example my disk is called /dev/sdd I can't stress enough that it might be different in your system and if you go ahead without checking that you'll suffer the consequences of formatting the wrong drive. Next, type this command, making sure you substitute the /dev/sdd for your own USB address. You can also change the 900 to whatever size you like to devote to your TRK, the size is in MB. You can choose between 150-999. Warning, this will format your entire USB so best to clean everything off there first if you need it. You have to format the whole disk you can't for example target the format to /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 etc.... trk2usb -d /dev/sdd -s 900 Next, copy over what's on your new TRK USB to the root directory of your target bootable multipass USB. You'll be copying over files and folders looking like this (Ver 3.3) autorun.inf* initrd.trk* ldlinux.sys* pxelinux.cfg/ vesamenu.c32* boot.cat* isolinux.bin* memdisk* syslinux.cfg* bootlogo.jpg* isolinux.cfg* memtest.x86* trinity.ico* disableautorun.exe* kernel.trk* pxelinux.0* trk3/ next, you have to rename your USB stick to be called this or it won't work! TRK_3-3 There's various ways to do that, in windows it's pretty easy, as for Linux you'll have to rename it using the rename command for FAT file systems. read this for a good resource on how to do it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive obviously if you don't use Ubuntu you'll have to think about how you're going to get that package edit your multipass menu.lst and wack this in: title Trinity Rescue Kit kernel /kernel.trk initrd=/initrd.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose initrd /initrd.trk Reboot your PC or VM and give it a shot! So i've got some questions here about Trinity myself: Does Trinity HAVE to be in the root directory? Did anyone get it working in a folder? Has anyone gotten trinity to work on the USB with that start up menu? This guide skips the start up menu unfortunately which would otherwise allow for easy file sharing along with other options This is a little off topic but has anyone found out a way to avoid using pe2usb and grub4dos, are there commands that can be made in Linux to get the same results- like getting the mbr on the USB? Has anyone found anything new they think is better or just as good as Trinity that's also a recovery utility (aside from hirens)
  3. I'm wondering the same thing for BT4 pre final
  4. has anyone managed to get a persistent USB install working for BT4 Pre final? I'm guessing the same thing that has to be done with trinity has to be done with BT4 pre - ie: have back track install it's self on the USB, not just copy the files over from the ISO. let me know what the secret is for this one, thanks.
  5. I tried Grub2, FAIL, grub4dos works great though i lost faith when i couldn't get the UbuntuISO to work, it's fine now. --> i've got some questions though, i'd like to get the backtrack4 pre to work without using a "casper" folder. I think this problem has been run into by heaps of people, even the guys that run the show may have avoided using the "pre". I'm also wondering if i try to boot BT4 pre in it's ISO form then with forensics mode work as it should? check it - menu.lst splashimage /matrix_splash.xpm.gz color green/black timeout 120 title Ubuntu LiveCD 9.04 find --set-root /ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso map /ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso quiet splash -- initrd /casper/initrd.gz boot title Mythbuntu LiveCD 9.04 find --set-root /mythbuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso map /mythbuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/mythbuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso quiet splash -- initrd /casper/initrd.gz boot title BT4 pre configfile /bt4-pre_root/boot/grub/menu.lst title GParted 0.4.5-2 root (hd0,0) kernel /live/vmlinuz1 boot=live username=casper noswap vga=788 ip=frommedia initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot title Boot the first hard disk title Boot the First Hard Disk root (hd0) chainloader +1 BT4pre menu.lst: (same as haxwithaxe) - kthkx /media/BOOTDISCS$ tree . |-- COPYING |-- GParted-Live-Version |-- boot.catalog |-- bt4-pre_root | `-- boot | |-- bootsplash | |-- grub | | |-- bt4.xpm.gz | | |-- menu.lst | | |-- menu.lst~ | | `-- stage2_eltorito | |-- initrd.gz | |-- initrd800.gz | |-- initrdfr.gz | |-- memtest86+.bin | `-- vmlinuz |-- casper | |-- filesystem.manifest | |-- filesystem.manifest-desktop | `-- filesystem.squashfs |-- grldr |-- grldr.mbr |-- isolinux | |-- Gsplash.png | |-- boot.cat | |-- chain.c32 | |-- exithelp.cfg | |-- isolinux.bin | |-- isolinux.cfg | |-- live.cfg | |-- memdisk | |-- menu.c32 | |-- menu.cfg | |-- prompt.cfg | |-- splash.png | |-- stdmenu.cfg | `-- vesamenu.c32 |-- live | |-- filesystem.squashfs | |-- initrd1.img | |-- memtest | |-- packages.txt | |-- parameters.txt | `-- vmlinuz1 |-- matrix_splash.xpm.gz |-- md5sum.txt |-- menu.lst |-- menu.lst~ |-- mythbuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso `-- ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso more to come on my one.
