Mr-Protocol Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Install Ubuntu to the hard disk, then install Back Track... pretty straight forward with the wizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfitsman805 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 He means a usb multiboot, not a hard drive dual boot. Simple: YUMI http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 He wasn't very descriptive. Also a new project xboot is pretty good https://sites.google.com/site/shamurxboot/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfitsman805 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Technically yeah but you would lose your windows or other OS install as it would overwrite it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysquirrell Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Install Ubuntu to the hard disk, then install Back Track... pretty straight forward with the wizard have ubuntu installed then installed back track updated grub can see both distros but backtrack does not load fully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not matter if i have to do both the installations again Is there a step by step guide? Any caveats? Any thing to watchout for? Please advise Thanks' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
