How did you partition the drive? Did you leave any drive space that is not partitioned?

I would suggest manually creating the partitions.

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:

Quote:
sudo fdisk -l
Quote:
df -h

You neglected to answer the question I asked in my last post.
You didn't post the output of the commands I suggested.

Yesterday you didn't have a manual option and today you do??

I'd have to agree with that. For your future reference, when someone asks you to post information there is usually a good reason for it. Usually it helps at least to eliminate problems. If you don't understand a question or how to obtain the info, indicate that. Also, using a search engine for 'how to install backtrack with windows' gave me numerous hits including youtube videos such as the one below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn6kzxuzreM

The partitioning part is about 4 minutes into the video but watching the whole thing will probably be helpful. It's Backtrack 5, you didn't indicate which you were using? If you don't like the above video, there are many more, just use your search engine.

Boot Backtrack and run this command: sudo fdisk -l(lower case Letter L in the command).
Post the menuentry section of the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file.
You could also try running the following commands successively from Backtrack to see if you get a windows entry:

sudo os-prober
sudo update-grub
