unpacked packed on exhdd? how exactly did you install the iso on to the drive?

I dont even start to install backtrack. I onley unpack iso on exhdd on my 6. exhdd disk and tryed to boot from him and install on my 5. exhdd. I put in BIOS on HDD priority exhdd 6. and press F12 to chose USB HDD to boot from. Btw my thre internal discs r on sata 2 and other external 3 r on USB. So i need some app to make my 6. exhdd bootable with backtrack on it and when instalation begins to put backtrack on exhdd 5..

That won't work. Your post is hard to read. How do you have Ubuntu installed? Is it a wubi? Do you have it on its own partition? It's possible to use Grub2 with Ubuntu to boot an iso file (Backtrack) but there is no guarantee it will work with Backtrack. If you do manage to install Backtrack you will either need to install its bootloader to the mbr (overwriting windows) or create an entry in the windows bootloader for it.

Have you tried putting Backtrack on a USB/flash drive and installing from there? You could use unetbootin in Ubuntu.

O.K. i try this way

1. internal disk: win xp C: and D:
2. internal disk: win 7
3. internal disk: all data
4. external USB disk: ubuntu
5. external USB disk: empty (40GB)
6. external USB disk: empty (4.5GB)

First installed win xp then win 7 then ubuntu(installed from win 7 possible its a wubi ?!?) and now i want to install backtrack on
disk 5. from disk 6.. I copyed from iso file on disk 6. and try to boot. When i install ubuntu from win 7 in installation i was reboot
and in OS menu i was get ubuntu option but i want install backtrack form a external hdd to another external hdd.
