If you can't see the option to install Alongside, what do you see? You should have an option such as Manual, Expert or if it's an Ubuntu derivative, Something Else. If you only have three partitions, you should be able to create additional partitions for Backtrack and data if you have not used all the hard drive space on your three windows partitions.
I'm not familiar with Backtrack but, when you boot the flash, do you have an option to try without installing? If so, open a terminal and run the following commands and post the output:
