[Anmol]

Hello, I am facing an issue ! I hope someone can help me here. Okay so here it is -- I have a laptop on which I want to install Kali linux. I tried installing but each time i do it fails after a successful installation. I have to hard disk 1- 24 gb SSD 2 - 500 HDD. So i have data in 500 gb HDD so i cannot format it. And 24 gb SSD is where the system is installed. Can anyone have any ideas what am i doing wrong?

did you use " root " & " toor " for 1st login / are you dual booting with any other o/s

wher did you put the boot loaderdid you use a swap partition

This is a good place to get help with any linux / google " Spatry's Cup of Linux "

Try using a partitioning tool from Windows to format the target drive,then create a EXT3 and swap partitions. Then try reinstalling Linux. Also,why Kali?? There are DOZENS of better distros. Kali is only for network professionals and hacker wannabes.

i am not using dual booting & i made two partitions one swap & other root partition to install the system.

Use something like Ubuntu,or most any distro and use the Katoolin script to install Kali Tools. Google it.

BackTrack was based on Ubuntu but change to kali based on Debian so I would use Debian over Ubuntu
Ubuntu is based /forked from Debian
Why it changed was to many forkups
