Backtrack 5 installation is fairly straight forward. There is two main ways Backtrack can be installed

1. VMware
2. ISO

The first way to install Backtrack is with VMware which is the way that I like to usually run Backtrack. For those who do not know VMware is a way to run another operating system virtually within another operating system. Basically if you are running Windows and want to run a Backtrack/Linux install at the same time you can do this with VMware.

VMware works very well and as long as you have a fairly recent computer it should run fine. If you have an older laptop or older computer then the ISO may be better. Mainly because a ISO can be burnt to a disk or any bootable device and booted off of. When Backtrack/Linux is booted off a ISO then it does not run Windows in the back ground.
