Truecrypt ed11/9/2023 ![]() I used my Windows 7 rescue disk because I still needed to do work in Windows, this will remove GRUB from MBR.“Is the currenting running operating system installed on the boot drive?”, my answer is “yes”.You might get a warning regarding “inexperienced users”, click “continue” or “yes” if it asks you to continue.“Number of Operating Systems” is “Multi-Boot”.“Area to Encrypt” is “Encrypt the Windows system partition”.“Type of System Encryption” is “Normal” (unless you actually need “Hidden”, which I will not talk about since I haven’t tried it yet).Boot into Windows again, run TrueCrypt (I am using version 7.1a) and start the “Encrypt System Partition/Drive”.On the reboot, if everything works, then you should see a GRUB menu listing both Linux and Windows options and let you pick which one to boot.The installer should allow you to continue, go through the rest of the installer normally.Set the main mapped container to a EXT4 partition mounted to “/”.Then the installer should create a “/dev/mapper/xxx_crypt” entries that represent the encrpyted containers. During this step, you will be asked to set a password first. The rest of the free space should be set to “physical container for encryption” or something like that.In the free space, allocate 200 MB for a EXT4 partition and set it to be mounted to /boot.Run the installer, but manually set the partitions, do not use the automatic configurations Boot back into the USB Linux in persistent mode.Do not interrupt this (your screen might be blank for a long time) I personally would reboot into Windows right now, because we resized that Windows partition, Windows will freak out and do a disk check on the next boot.Remember to commit your changes to the USB drive.You will encounter an error trying to make a encrypted partition if you do not do this. First run “sudo swapoff -v -a” in the terminal, then use GParted (or similar) to delete the swap partition. If swap space is found on your USB drive, you need to remove the swap partition. ![]()
