Make a back up of everything first! And make sure your backup is encrypted. WARNING: DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 8.1 BECAUSE TRUECRYPT DOES NOT SUPPORT GPT PARTITIONS I came up with an alternative solution for people who wants to boot directly into Windows with a silent TrueCrypt login most of the time, but needs a few extra keystrokes to get into Linux. This is an ugly solution as a mainly Windows user because it involves a few extra keystrokes to activate the rescue partition, and the rescue partition is not hidden. There are several guides on the Internet about how to create a dual boot system with TrueCrypt but all of them involve placing the TrueCrypt rescue disk image into a separate partition. I used to have TrueCrypt encrypting my entire hard drive, but TrueCrypt does not really support dual boot systems with GRUB, because TrueCrypt must reside on the Master Boot Record (MBR). ![]() I also want to encrypt my entire hard drive for privacy. I am a mainly Windows 7 user who needs to use Linux only sometimes, so I need a dual boot system.
