Backtrack tricks - N1lavKwr - 08-27-2011
I have installed backtrack in my laptop, but it cannot connect to any available wi-fi networks. Its showing those networks but cannot connect to them.I also want to know how to remove backtrack from my pc, i also have ubuntu 11.04 installed in my pc...

Try with a Virtual Machine or dual boot on another computer in-case that you're not known with the platform.
I've never thought of deleting BackTrack from my computer, so I can't say that I know how to do. But I believe that you should go ahead and re-install your operating system.

Hi!
Make sure that you WiFi adapter is supported by BT.
To remove, just format the partition where BT is I guess... then simply edit GRUB and ur done =)

BT is recognizing all the wifi networks but is not connnecting to them i.e why i want to remove it. Windows is not showing the partition used by BT.

When BT is trying to connect to the networks - Lets assume it is a WPA-PASSPHRASE protected access-point - You have to go to (if your using BT5) Applications>Internet>Wicd Network Manager - now under each bssid you will see 2 options "Connect" and "Properties" click Properties - Go to where it says "Use Encryption" under this option is a drop-down menu Choose whichever security it relevant to the access-point you are trying to connect to and fill out the required field in the "KEY" section located underneath.
If the access-point is OPEN then you can just press Connect.
It took me along while to get used to BT but i'm glad i persevered.
Be careful of just formatting the partition where BT is located because s when you reboot it could just say ---GRUB ERROR--- and you'll not be able to Boot into windows either (you can edit Grub, but i have no idea how this is done, maybe i'll learn)

I dont know as much as you know but i tried formatting the system reserved partition after formatting bt5 partition and voila it worked out. I think grub was stored in the system reserved partition so when i formatted the partition it got removed. I dont know if your systems are using system reserved(OEM) partions but my system does so its worth a try. I used win7 disk to do it...

Yes thats true, but the problem is that the srver here is programmed to deny any access to bt.
