Hello backboxers

I wanted to try out your pentesting OS by making a persistent usb because it sounded promising and heard it had good support. So I downloaded de AMD64 version of backbox. Used unetbootin to put it on FAT32 usb stick of 8GB. Set the space for user files to 3gb, it stopped reacting at 72% but eventually it started working again and completed the install on the USB. Then I booted from the usb it came up on the start screen. I select try out OS and it just gave a black screen (NO letters), then I tried out test live cd for errors (or something like that). And it also gave a black screen..

BTW I work with a
I7-4702MQ
and a
GeForce gt 750M

I hope that made some sense 

Thanks in advance

Hi perception,
maybe you can do some tests. Here is something you can try, but you can try other different ways:

• Check MD5 of the downloaded iso and compare it with the one in the download page. If they differ please download again.
• Retry the usb creation with unetbootin
• Try to create a bootable usb in non-persistent mode.
• Try to modify boot parameters editing the line in the bootloader to start in single-user mode.
• Try with the 32 bit version.

Also, in virtualbox you are directly booting the iso emulating a CD/DVD, not the bootable usb, aren't you?

Let us know.
Good luck!

weVeg are you on an aspire V3 772G? Anyway I'm gonna try the 32bit version even though I find it weird that the 64bit wouldn't work on this laptop :s
