Installing BackTrack on Virtual Box !
There are times when we need to switch between operating systems rapidly and we need our BackTrack running alongside another OS like Windows or Red Hat Linux. One advantage of doing this is it gives us more accessibility. For doing this you need to download VM Virtual Box, which is a freely available tool.
Step 1 : After downloading and installing virtual box on to your PC, click on the “New” button. A dialogue box will appear where you would need to type the name of the “OS,” the “Version,” and the operating system type. In my case the name would be “BackTrack,” the OS “Linux,” and the version “Ubuntu.”
Step 2 : The next step would be to allocate the RAM; it is recommended that you allocate at least 1024 MB (1 GB) for BackTrack to run perfectly.
Step 3 : Next, choose to create a virtual drive and then in the next window select the hard drive type as VDI (Virtual Disk Image).
Step 4 : In the next step, you have to choose if you want the hard disk to be dynamically allocated or have a fixed size. If you have enough space on your hard disk, you might want to choose the first option. Nevertheless, it’s up to you.
Step 5 : Next, choose the name of your virtual hard drive and allocate the size of the hard disk.
Step 6 : So, now when the virtual hard disk has been created and other settings are selected, load the BackTrack that was downloaded onto the virtual box and click “Start”.
That’s all we need to do. We now have BackTrack installed on our virtual box.
