Linux backtrack - "No root file system is defined" error

Sivakumar

Right off the assembly line
I tried installing the Backtrack that i got from one of my Digit CD and i reached upto partition manger. I have already installed Windows 7 in my system. I have drive d:\ (from windows) which has 150 GB and i used only 33 MB in it. When Linux detected the hard disk and i choose the manual partition and selected this drive and allocated 100 GB to install Linux. In the Linux partition manager it shows 'unused'. When I click forward button it gives me an error "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from partitioning menu." Kindly help me on this.

u have to select the mount point for the partition.

look around, u'll find the option for selecting the mount point and choose /

/ stands for root filesystem. also choose a file system like ext4 and then continue.

my advice will also be to have another partition with the mount point /home

also post in proper section.
