Hello guys (and the occasional girl)!
ok, so I have an AMD64 laptop, currently running WinXP and the entire drive is encrypted (Truecrypt 6.2a) requiring a password before the OS will fire up.
What I'd like to do is install 9.04 from within windows, have Ubuntu's boot loader (GRUB, right?) load AFTER the Truecrypt loader (therefore both OS's are encrypted by the one method). So after the Truecrypt password has been entered, I can either go into WinXP or U9.04. Make sense?
Am a little concerned that the installation process will bork the Truecrypt loader and I'll blow the whole Win OS... not quite ready to let that happen. :)
Thanks for the assistance!
