Arrow Linux Backtrack Live Cd Booting Problem [ solved]
I downloaded the Linux Backtrack live cd from here:
Code:
http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html
in the form of an ISO image , so i burned it in MagicISO then inserted it into the computer and all i got was a popup box saying this:
i also tried burning this as an image in Nero and inserted the disk and got the same thing. Can anyone help me with this ?
-----------------------------------
nevermind i fixed the problem, by the way ive never used linux before but this looks pretty cool, im actually using it right now to type this, didnt know itd be this easy

What it sounds like is Big Tony didn't boot from the CD, just put it in the drive while the machine was already booted.
Restarting the machine with that disk in the drive should've done the trick. Am I right, Big Tony?
