BackTrack technical tip
I installed the BackTrack Linux distro on a USB pen drive. When I attempted to boot, I got much of the way through the boot process before I saw the error message:
Fatal error occurred - LiveData not found. Searching for BT directory.
The problem is that the USB drive is formatted with the vfat filesystem, which renames the BT directory to bt. I tried everything I could think of to rename it without reformatting the drive, with no luck. You must use a filesystem other than FAT or FAT32 – which means that you can’t have any Windows apps share the same device. I use some of the PortableApps suite, so that’s a deal-breaker for me.

How did you solve this problem?
Syslinux is only compatable with FAT file systems.
I am having the same issue as you, but cannot install on ext2/ext3 partition due to the above.
