And read this, http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13842 hi thanks for your reply in my menu.lst i copied the backtrack 4 coded from the description on the episode details i extracted the bt4 beta files from the iso to my pen drive and renamed the boot folder to bootbt4 so it matched what was in menu.lst so i have no idea why it wont work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonie Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 i have just noticed by watching the episode that the menu.lst file in the episode has a file type of masm listing and mine is just a text document could this be what is wrong? i save it as .lst but it doesn't change from a text doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0u53 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 try viewing all extentions for all files i create a menu.list file on my dads vista machine and it failed so i brought it over to linux and noticed is said menu.lst.txt so be sure your setup isnt the same because that will not work ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numb3rs Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Try reading page... 12 or 13 on the episode thread again. Someone posted their tree and lst maybe it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevinM Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Try reading page... 12 or 13 on the episode thread again. Someone posted their tree and lst maybe it will help.

bigdaddysky Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I know what the problem is as stated earlier you have the menu.lst as a text doc so your gonna have to uncheck the option "Hide extensions for known file types" this will show that you have menu.lst.txt Just delete the .txt and save Should work now!
