Dual Booting Windows and BackTrack2 (said to work for BT3 as well)

To do the Backtrack install, follow the instructions athttp://www.offensive-security.com/documentation/backtrack-hd-install.pdf

This paper was written by jabra and it is excellent.  A local copy is here.

When I followed these instructions, Windows was on /dev/hda1 so I made /dev/hda2 (boot), /dev/hda3 (swap), and /dev/hda4 (backtrack).  Once done, only backtrack would boot.  To get Windows back in the boot options (lilo), see below:

To fix the lilo config, follow the instructions listed athttp://bayupw.blogspot.com/2007/09/dual-boot-backtrack-2-final-winxp.html



Open up a terminal/console by clicking the konsole icon (black monitor) or navigate System-> konsole. Then type this in konsole:
bt ~ # liloconfig
Choose simple-> enter -> install to MBR.
You will be kicked back to the konsole, then type this:
bt~ # nano /etc/lilo.conf
Then search for "#Linux bootable partition config begins" and and change it to this one:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = current
label = backtrack
read-write
# Linux bootable partition config ends
