Thanks, that's what I figured. Anyone know what else I can try to boot from the Backtrack 5 R3 DVD I burned? I need to figure that out either way so I can troubleshoot if Win 8 ever fails. Also I am not clear on if there is an advantage to using unebootin to install to a USB stick over the DVD that I burned from the ISO file. I don't have a USB stick available, but I could buy one if need be. I will pass this on to the rest of the class tonight.
Thanks again,
