As you will see, that is no longer necessary. The -L casper-rw option helps us get around the problem we had where we had to enter the partition name in order to get persistence working. Being able to use ext3 is great because of journaling. Two things to notice above, 1) we are using ext3 instead of ext2 and 2) you must include the -L casper-rw portion of the command. In my case, the drive was enumerated as sdb. Make sure you select the correct drive as picking the wrong one could be disastrous.

There may be a way to do this in Windows and make it work, but I haven't researched that yet. Another note, we need to format the partitions under Linux.

For Backtrack 3 and Backtrack 4 Beta, we could get away with a 2GB drive. With the release of Backtrack 4 Final, a 4 GB drive is required. I know this seems convoluted, but it's the easiest and most sure way I know to get us where we want to go.įirst let's partition our thumbdrive. If you have a Backtrack 3 CDROM or Backtrack 4 DVD, you are in good shape, if you don't and are using an additional USB thumbdrive, skip to here and then return once you have a bootable Backtrack 4 device.
