I just got my ubuntu setup like i wanted it but i wanted it encrypted from boot now i find lvm and it can also contain swap in same partition can someone help me is it possible to get this working without having to reinstall ubuntu can i somehow move everything together and also how do i set it up

current setup
hd0,1) windows vista 64, truecrypt encrypted, grub chain to truecrypt bootloader 32GB
hd0,2) ubuntu 8.10 64, grub loads to it 10GB
hd0,3) swap for ubuntu 3GB
hd0,4) my stuff 64GB (this stuff is backed up)

i dont have another hard drive to backup all of this stuff but i want to get ubuntu setup with encryption and lvm and if necessary i will format ubuntu and set it up again but really dont want to i can also reinstall windows but i really really dont want to do that cause the drivers etc is such a problem
