Backtrack not booting after installing with windows xp
 
Hi everyone,

This is my first post on this forum, so would like to say hello to everyone, hope u r all well.

I have got a machine with WindowsXP installed (sorry for swearing lol), and i want BackTrack 2.0 installed as well, so i can boot either.

I installed partition magic on my windows installation, and split the drive so i now have my windows partition (100gb), linux ext3 partition (10gb), linux swap (1gb).

I have booted the backtrack live cd, and gone into the installer program. The first option i chose \boot, second option \mnt\sda3 and third \dev\sda. Everything seems to install, but when i shutdown and reboot, my installation just opens windowsXp.

I dont get any boot loader asking which system i want to boot.

I am very new to linux so please explain your answers, thanks in advanced.

Did you follow the BT2 install guide? Did you receive any errors during the install?

if you mean the guide from www.offensice-security.com, then i didnt follow setting up the partitions, as i did that with partition magic, via windows.

I didnt get any errors during installation
