Backtrack

I have finaly figured out to get QEMU to run Backtrack 3 using Windows as the Host OS.

Here’s what I did:

1. Downloaded the lastest stable version of BackTrack(Currently version 3), you may optionaly download the USB version for more features.
2. Download QEMU Make sure you download the Windows version!
3. Uncompress QEMU & copy the Backtrack ISO into the same directory
4. Make a new file called BTboot.bat open it and copy this into it: qemu -L . -std-vga -localtime -soundhw all -m 512 -cdrom *.iso -hda linux.img -boot d 
5. Now edit *.iso to the name of the Backtrack iso
6. Run the newly created file
7. While Backtrack is at the boot screen, select a graphics mode(KDE or Flux) and press Tab
8. Change the line autoexec=xconf;kdm to autoexec=kdm
9. Now press enter and ENJOY!!

Hope everything worked out correctly, If not just post a comment and I will try to help you. Heck, just post a comment anyways :)
