Dual Boot

[Braica]

Hello guys! Okay, I have a Lenovo laptop, and it came with original W7 64 bit. It's on my C drive (has around 600GB total), and I also have a D drive called Lenovo, which is almost fully filled (probably 3 out of 28GB left) in which I can only see around 2GB of files. Maybe the backup's there, or something.

I want to install BackTrack Linux, and I'm not exactly sure how & where. I'm not really a noob, but I want to be safe that I won't format my hard disk or something. I first put it into vmware player, but that disabled more or less everything I wanted (couldn't connect to wireless adapter because it isn't connected through USB), so I guess I should dual boot it. I can't use the D disk, right?

So, basically I burn the .iso to a disk and boot into it. Then I enter the installation (which is 7 step I believe), and I'm supposed to get to this:

So, if I somehow don't get the exact same window, I should consult you guys? I assume the first option (selected in the screen) is perfectly safe, and should be used?

Cheers!

EDIT: Also, will dual boot hinder my performance? Thanks!

Sorry, Forum rules will not allow us to help you with BackTrack.

Dual boot will not hinder performance.

Next thing, Are you needing tools that are in backtrack, or do you just want a linux distro? Because of the hacking tools, we can not aid you with backtrack, but if you go to a different distro, we will be glad to help you.

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that BackTrack is forbidden here (even though it's obvious, I guess). Well, I won't lie and say I don't need its tools, so this thread can be closed. I'll figure something out. Cheers!
