When installing backtracker in Virtual Box, it came up with a error and told me to put the error on community however the chat isnt letting me do it, it says "A crticial error has occured while running the virtual machine and the macine execution has been stopped" .
When closing the machine it said "unable to allocate the lock (something)" this is the first time ive used backtrack so have no idea of this error if anyone has any help, please send me a message through this site or contact me for email, also on the picture in logs it showed it stopped at 15% instillation (copying files) if thats any help.
help much appreciated, thanks alot.

When installing backtracker in vmware

Afraid we don't support vmware, only VirtualBox.

sorry i mean ive got virtual box... my heads just gone, yes i have "Oracle Vm Virtual Box" could you help?

Not without the "exact error" and log file.

I guess i could copy the error file, but how am i suppose to upload a image to this site?

use Attachment

It says the picture of the instillation at 15% is too big to upload, do you want me to just read what it says on the picture? "Instillation, copying file, 15%"

You are assigning more memory than you have available. You might get it to work using 512MB, but expect it to be slow.
Best to add more RAM to the host.

when preparing disk spce its come up some partitions are too small, at leastt 11.2gb is needed what should i do just press ok?

It means exactly what it says. You need to re-create and use a larger size for the virtual HDD.
Assuming the hosts drive has ample spare drive space, I would create with a size of at least 15GB, dynamic.
