i done every thing and the first commands working well

umount /dev/hda1

Run QTParted to resize the NTFS partition
KDE menu > System > QTParted
Resize sda1 to make free space for BackTrack and save changes. Exit QTParted.

Create Linux partitions for BackTrack
Code:

fdisk /dev/hda

Create a primary partition number hda2 name it linux
Create a primary partition number hda3 1 GB in size, this will be swap

Format the new partitions
Code:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda2
mkswap /dev/hda3
swapon /dev/hda3

untill i begone to start copying the directories with this command

bt ~ # cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} /mnt/backtrack/

its said can't create /mnt/backtrack/bin ready only file system

and it says this also for the rest files not bin only :S:S

did u do this befoe u start the copy the files?

bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/backtrack
bt ~ # mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/backtrack/
bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/backtrack/boot/
bt ~ # mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/backtrack/boot/

you have to do that first.. or if u can get an installer, it will ease your problems...you just have to do the above and after run the self installer. after installer finishes the installation, then you will have to configure lilo.

ok, lets take another way around it, now you gonna use the installer..ok?

after these,

fdisk /dev/hda

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda2
mkswap /dev/hda3
swapon /dev/hda3

do

bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/backtrack
bt ~ # mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/backtrack/

after that run the installer which i have attached, it will auto install the files and dir and all you need to get BT up and running.

In the Installation method on the installer, SELECT "REAL" and make sure you uncheck "Restore original MBR after lilo", very neccessary, also in the Install backtrack to, make sure it is "/mnt/backtrack"

after that is done, click on install and let it run, after it says 100% complete, config your lilo.

i think you still know how to config lilo like te way i wrote earlier,

you can edit it with your favorite editor, eg nano, i prefer kwrite..much easier.

"kwrite /etc/lilo.conf" after edit and save then "lilo -v"

it may be needed you chroot so you dont recong the lilo of the live cd or rather you reboot, once you reboot your machine, you will boot directly into BT, then you config your lilo and specify your other boot options which is windows, after you on start up you will be presented with lilo so you can select where you wanna boot into.

Maybe it would help you to go first with another linux distribution and learn some basics and get more familiar with linux in general.

the problem is this dist got its own installer but it doesn't have this option : restore original mbr :S

never mind, i learn from sharing....broadens knowledge and experience. If it does not have restore original mbr, then its good coz you do not need it anyway, yea it may take long to install, do like you want to close it by clicking on cancel, it wont cancel but resume installation.
