Hello, First i would like to acknowledge the fact that there are many posts on how to dual boot Backtrack5 and windows 7
However. with the number of times that i've pretty much bricked my laptop. id like to get Specific help on my laptop as this thing has a mind of its own...
Last time (monday) i used BCD I used Neogrub and then i used Grub (Legacy) to find Z:\ (BT File) and also had the BT files in my Z:\ drive, I went to BCD Deployment Clicked on Install the windows Vista/7 Bootloader to the MBR and clicked Write MBR. when i rebooted my computer it was stuck at a flashing _ <-.
Okay, So My main operating system is windows 7, backtrack 5 is the Secondary OS that i'd like to use, I've already shrunk my D:\ drive to allocate 10 GB for BT5 and formatted it with Fat32.
What im looking for is specific instructions on how to take windows 7 and use EasyBCD to dual boot Backtrack 5. From step 1-finish.
If there is another post if you could link it. however im kinda tired of bricking my laptop.
Also
(if you brick your laptop or PC using a Dualboot software, the solution is)
1. Use a windows recovery USB/CD or Windows 7 Installation CD.
2. Boot your computer to the CD.
3. Choose the language/keyboard and continue.
4. Go to repair my computer.
5. Choose Command Prompt
6. (press enter after each line)
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot (may show up as Missing element)
bootrec /rebuildBCD
7. reboot your computer.
8. if it is not fixed yet go back into the recovery options and run startup repair.
(this may take a couple of times to fix.)
Thats how i have to unbrick my laptop.
(though) as i said before it has a mind of its own. and by that i mean my laptop detects my CD Drive like 1% of the time :'(
