BT5-R3 - booting issue #1
Then, I ran from USB BT5 a couple of times on a Windows 7 PC, and then I tried to install it. An error occured, and the fact is that after reboot, when trying to enter GUI again from USB live (startx) , it gave me a

Code:
xinit:  Server error.
xauth:  error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority

You see I'm not very practiced with Linux and Backtrack Linux, my main OS is still Windows, so consider the fact I'm a total noob with this.

Anyhow, I tried to rm /root/.Xauthority, but looked like no file or directory had that name, so I tried to locate .Xauthority but no matches. I tried to reboot different times but always that error. I tried also editing sources.list, leaving uncommented all repos, then only one ( for each one ), but nothing changed as I later tried with sudo apt-get clean, autoclean, update, install-f... No way.

Thanks.

Delete Backtrack 5 from usb, Format it and put BT5 in it again via Live Linux Creator
