    Backtrack 4 Final Doesn't Boot

    Hi, I want to make use of the BackTrack 4 Final on my computer. But, when I try to boot from the DVD, it gives me Grub command line. But, if I try to run that on another machine, then it works fine. I am not able to understand the problem behind it. If you are having any idea from which I will able to solve my problem. Then please provide me help for that, as Internet is useless for this solution.

    Hey, I am also getting the same problem. If I make use of the DVD for booting of the BackTrack 4 Final, then it gives me grub command line error. And the same problem will happen if I try to use that DVD on the any other computer. So, what is the exact problem behind this. If you are having any idea for this, then please give me details about that. Thank you in advance.
