Have you wondered how to get BackTrack 4 running in the easiest way possible? Well you can stop now. No need to burn a disk or install it on your computer just to check it out, you can run it in a virtual machine right from your desktop. Many of you have heard of VMware and looked away because of all the five dolla sucky suckys it would take to afford it. Fortunately there exists a free alternative that is just as good, Sun’s VirtualBox (available for Linux, Mac, Windows) . In this video, I will show you how to get BackTrack 4 up and running in it.. oh and the process is the same for any other OS you wish to run as well.
One more thing… what is a Virtual Machine? Well without giving you a brainfart, it is simply a software that uses your host operating system’s resources (cpu,ram,hard drive) to launch and run another operating system within it. For a more technical explanation check out this Wikipedia article…here….just kidding, I’m going to keep you on this site as long as possible. Muaha, find it yourself! So here’s the video:

a little bit different in the newest version. click on storage, then under the IDE controller, select the CD which should say empty, click on the folder and add the iso. that should fix your problem.

make sure you are looking into the right downloads folder. if its in there then it’ll be in there. there are 2 downloads folders.. one under documents and one under your username.
