Backtrack 4; Booting from USB Drive

Backtrack 4 is basically a Linux operating system but with one difference: It's primary function is to hack into Wi-Fi WEP keys, Bluetooth devices etc.
(To be used for educational purposes or security testing software ONLY)

I found the easiest way to use it was to boot directly from a USB pen drive rather than go through all the bother of partitioning drives and unnecessary "Konsole" commands.

Step 1 - Requirements -

You will need a Pen drive with a minimum of 2GB Capacity and a copy of Backtrack 4 (.iso) Image Version , a copy of Unetbootin and of course a PC or Mac.

Step 2 - Formatting the USB pendrive -

Once you USB Pen drive is plugged into an available USB port, select the drive from "My Computer", right click it and select format (Format to FAT32).

Step 3 - Unetbootin - Creating your bootable USB drive -

Open Unetbootin, browse and select the disc image location and drive. Select OK and wait (this process may take up to several minutes (Dont worry if it lags or gets stuck on 85%, this is normal, just continue to wait.)

Step 4 - Booting Backtrack from your USB Drive

Once finished restart your PC with your USB plugged in. When possible got to your boot options in the BIOS (Normally by hitting F12) and select the correct drive. You will now be confronted with a booting options screen for Backtrack. Select Default. Backtrack will now load all the files.
Once finished type in "startx" (without the quotes) and the Backtrack GUI will appear.

Have fun!
