Fatal error occured - LiveData not found. Searching for BT directory.
You are maybe using an unsupported boot device (eg. SCSI or PCMCIA CD-ROM)
Try to copy the directory BT from CD/USB to your IDE/SATA harddisk,
for example to /mnt/sda1/ in Linux or C:\ in Windos. Then boot again
* Something went wrong and we cant continue. This should never happen.

Note : Both BT2 and BT3 version came up with the same results when i try to boot with the Live-CD.
Due to such limitation, dual boot with Vista is not possible, i came up with solution by virtualize the OS itself. Software that i use to install BT3 is VMware Workstation 6.x. The product key of VMware Workstation seems working with various version of 6.x. The main advantage of this solution is that you now can copy the VMware image to different notebooks or desktop computers running all kinds of operating systems and hardware configurations.
How to install BT3 in VMware Workstation 6.x?
1. Run VMware 6.x, click on New Virtual Machine > Typical > Guest OS (choose Linux) Version (Other Linux 2.6.x kernel) > Virtual Machine Name (Any name that you wish, say BT3) > Use Bridge networking > Disk 8Gb and click Finish.
2. Boot BT3 cd/iso in VMware, choose BT3 Graphic Mode (KDE), wait until completely loaded, if required (Login=root, Password=toor), then type "startx".
3. Open console, type in "fdisk /dev/sda" > n > p > 1 > Press Enter > +50M or +64M > n > p > 2 > Press Enter > +512M > n > p > 3 > Press Enter twice > a > 1 > t > 2 > 82 > p > w.
4. Continue by typing ;
bt ~ # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
bt ~ # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3
bt ~ # mkswap /dev/sda2
bt ~ # swapon /dev/sda2
bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/bt3
bt ~ # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/bt3/
bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/bt3/boot
bt ~ # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/bt3/boot/
bt ~ # cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} /mnt/bt3/
bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/bt3/{mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
bt ~ # mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/bt3/dev/
bt ~ # mount -t proc proc /mnt/bt3/proc/
bt ~ # cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/bt3/boot/
bt ~ # chroot /mnt/bt3/ /bin/bash
bt / # splash -s -f /etc/bootsplash/themes/Linux/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg >> /boot/splash.initrd
bt / # nano /etc/lilo.conf
5. Then automatically you are brought to lilo.conf, make some changes or just copy paste such below ;
lba32
boot= /dev/sda
#message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 10
change-rules
reset
vga = 791
initrd = /boot/splash.initrd
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda3
label = BackTrack3
Save it by pressing CTRL+O
6. Type ;
bt / # lilo -v
bt / # exit
bt ~ # poweroff
