  You can also download an iso image of Backtrack 4 & use software like Unetbootin which will extract files from iso image to pendrive & make it bootable.
  
  I have used it and it seems to be very simple as Unetbootin helps to do much of the task.

  How much size of pendrive is needed?
  
  Is it needed to be empty?

  2 gb will be enough and it is not necessary for pendrive to be empty if you have pendrive larger than 2 gb.
