Gar4 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 So i have put backtrack 5 on a external hard-drive. I installed it using LiLi USB creator. I managed to boot into presistant mode the first time and everything worked. But the next time i tried i got the error: EXT2-fs (loop1): error: ext2_lookup: delete inode reference: 752950. with the last number changing. Does anyone know how to fix this? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calianna Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Did a quick hunt on good old Google, and other people on the Backtrack forums are having the same problem. ext2 is what's damaged from what you can see in the error. So a format of the stick and try again maybe? Also you might want to change the file system to ext4. All this is from copying and pasting the error into Google. Google is your friend :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The ISO file could have been corrupted, I would suggest re-download the ISO file and use this utility to create a bootable USB and then try again. By the way, that's what I used to install Ubuntu on my laptop. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
