I recently got a netbook. One of the Asus EeePC's with Windows XP preinstalled. Of course, I forgot to install UNR before encrypting the entire drive. My question is, is there some way for me to install UNR without disturbing the encryption or TrueCrypt's bootloader, and still be able to dual-boot?

Thanks.

If i remember correctly (from truecrypt website), truecrypt only supports windows.

The only way, seems to decrypt drive, before doing anything (if it is possible).

I might have to decrypt it, but I don't see why I have to... on one of the setup steps on truecrypt, it gives the option for dual boot or single boot. I hit Single boot.
