3This question is not related to Ubuntu. You should consult their manual at http://www.backtrack-linux.org/tutorials/backtrack-hard-drive-install/ – papukaija Jul 07 '13 at 10:44

Yes, shrinking the partition to manage space is for ubuntu. – Tamim Addari Jul 07 '13 at 12:28

^You could do that with nearly any distribution. – papukaija Jul 07 '13 at 12:58

If Backtrack doesn't allow you to partition your HDD during installation, you can use an Ubuntu live USB, which includes Gparted, to partition it first.

You have to make a partition and then install backtrack
So basically dual boot it

If your entire hard disk has ubuntu on it, use gparted or a partition tool of your choice to create empty space, following which you can use that space to install backtrack, following the guide that runs along while the installation takes place.
