[Thice] discovered a vulnerability in encrypted portable storage a few years ago. He’s just pointing about the exploit now.

Here’s a floppy drive which is being used as an audio sampler.

But that’s not what’s happening at all. The floppy is actually being used as a storage [...]

If you’d like a pseudo-mechanical way of producing a droning synthesizer sound, [gijs] is your man. He made a small synthesizer out of nothing but an old hard drive and a few components.

So your hard drive quit working. Don’t despair, with a “little” work your disk can be repurposed into a clock like the one seen above.

The Isostick, a Kickstarter project now in development, is meant to emulate an optical drive in the form of a USB stick.

remote-exploit & backtrack
Well, I wont say much about this computer I'm dealing with, needless to say I can't modify the hard drive contents and I don't have access to the internals.
Booted up a copy of BackTrack 4 Final onto a computer after acquiring BIOS rights. We got the password to the BIOS, changed the boot order to CD and first booted to windows normally. Then we restarted and booted into BT4 to see what we could do. I got called away and when I came back my partner in crime was pale and was looking at the BIOS. The first HDD was no longer in the BIOS boot options, we get an error (more info on that error later) when we don't have a disk in the drive.
Loading up BT4, the hard drive is still visible. It's just not being picked up by BIOS.
Tomorrow we'll be playing around, our ultimate plan is to upload a back door, fix it and give ourselves remote access from our own computers, though if it goes on erroring out like this the HDD and BIOS are sure to be flashed.
So... Any idea what might be doing this? Any BIOS settings or even a linux setting that may have somehow played with the hard drive?

remote-exploit & backtrack
I am new to Back Track and everything related.
Ok where to start...
I have windows 7. I downloaded BT4 iso. I ran unetbootin and set it up on my hd(cdrive). I got on to the bt desktop and tried to run the install.sh it tried to install it onto my jump drive. I ended it and removed the jump drive. I tried again and when I got to the part where I should be able to set the partition it took me a page called partition prep. It wouldn't let me do anything. Every program was disabled and there were no partitions listed. I tried to make a new partition and it wouldn't read the partition either.
Someone please help me. I was really excited to run a dual boot and would love to know how to fix this error. Im reallllly lost as to what to do so anything would be nice. :confused:

Hi
