Default Backtrack 4 boots straight to grub command line interface

Alright, so I downloaded and installed Backtrack4 and burnt it to a DVD disc. Put it in my HP computer with a Pentium D, and the iso boots to a GRUB command line and I can't figure out why. No graphical interface. I looked at the How To Video and they don't get this, so... what exactly am I doing wrong? I honestly have no idea. If anyone needs a video, I will gladly record one for you.

If you think rap sucks or isn't "real music", quit being pretentious and go sample something that isn't on the radio:
De La Soul, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Brand Nubian, Canibus, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Gang Starr, Digital Underground, (old) Kanye West, Immortal Technique, etc.

Better yet, try to make a 4 minute spoken word poem read to a beat that doesn't suck or sound corny if you think hip hop has no talent.

Try, if you have a spare usb stick around, putting the iso on the usb pen. with "unetbootin", it looks like a bad burn but i can't be sure,
also i prefer bt3 to 4 although bt4 does boast a few improvements over bt3,

good luck

That is really strange. Try booting it from a liveCD. Then when you get to command line type startx.
