It will then ask you if your sure that you want to set this partition size, as it will take a long time and you cant go back on it. This point of the install is crucial because you need to backup the Windows MBR to a temp folder then copy it back over BEFORE Linux installs its GRUB bootloader. Do the following BEFORE clicking next:
Press:
Alt + F2 (Macbook Pro requires the fn key to be held as well)
In the Run Command Box type:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/sda.mbr bs=512 count=1
Click run
Press:
Alt + F2 again (dont forget about the fn key)
This time in the Run Command Box type:
dd if=/tmp/sda.mbr of=/dev/sda
This time dont click run.. Just leave that command ready to be clicked on later on. The reason for this is purely the fact that we need to run it while the Backtrack Linux install is installing and BEFORE it gets to GRUB bootloader. So now that you have the Run Command box up you can click next on the Installer box. Wait a few moments and it should finalize the partitions then ask you to fill in some info. Fill in your basic username you want, password you want, and computer name. Check the ‘Log me in automatically’ box if you want. When you click next again it should ask you if you want to transfer any documents or settings. Since we just finished installing the Windows OS, there really isnt any documents to copy over even if you wanted too. Just click forward again.
