Hi I just downloaded Backtrack 5 gnome and kde. After I burned the iso to disk I tried to use it. I can get to the boot screen, but after that I get test box with open gui and I can not use the keyboard. How do I try out backtrack? I have the same problem with virtualbox.
Thank you

PS this is my virtualbox error when I try to start a 64bit os
VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.
Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer.

I doubt you have any use for Backtrack. Consider a different distro.

Not all systems can run a VM properly. Can I assume you have checked bios for any setting related to virtual systems? They may have odd names to select in bios.

I assume you have a 32 bit OS and are trying to get a 64 bit OS to run. If so, why?

I am currently using Ubuntu 12.04 64 byte dual booted with windows 7 64. I down loaded Backtrack as a 32 byte os twice, once in gnome desktop and the other in kde desktop. Currently I am still a novice so I am trying out many different os in Virtualbox. I am trying to find a few that I like the feel and power of a smooth operating system. I do have an up to date pc so I would like to find something that will use its full potential in speed and graphics. I really don't play many games I am at the moment focusing my attention on learning html, php, orca, and dos. I am trying to build me a fantastic website to use for my business, and I also want to learn as much about programing and security out of my own interests. I like 3d animation, blender is complicated at the moment, but I'm getting the hang of it. Daz 4 is cool and so is Adobe Dreamweaver. I like using the Adobe cs6 because of the bridge which allows merging of different files to integrate into Dreamweaver and Autodesk 3D Max. I would like to merge completely away from windows in the next 7 months. That is why I am using virtualbox at the moment for testing different os.
Thank you

Backtrack will just get you into trouble.

Why's that? What is the main purpose of backtrack other than testing security for a new database?
Thank you
