Hey,

Hope everyone is well!?

I have ordered the 4GB USB drive with Ubuntu pre-installed, and want to know if it is possible to dual boot with this? I'd like to add the option to boot into BackTrack 3...

I've searched everywhere and cannot find the answers., any help would be great, thank you...

Do you mean you want to boot BackTrack3 of the usb drive as well?

If so, I would guess that as long as you have grub installed on your USB drive, and you get your partitioning right, and Backtrack3 will install to a partition on a usb drive, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Not tried it though :)

Sorry for being a biff, but where did you buy the USB from? I've been googling this for a few days to no avail.


Edit- Yes, def being a biff, just found it in the Canonical store. Must admint I wasn't expecting it to be under an accessory though. :)

Yep, glad you found it! after tax and VAT it's about £18...

It has arrived today...now if I can only get it to dual boot...?
