Our computer is a dual-boot with both Windows and Ubuntu 10.04.

I want to encrypt the Ubuntu 10.04 portion of my computer and I understand I have to do a reinstall with the Alternate CD which I already have ready to go.

The Windows portion of the computer must stay on the drive and still be perfectly usable but there must be an Ubuntu portion which is encrypted too.

The Alternate Cd installation for doing encryption isn't as easy out its made out to be- it mentions "entire disk encryption" or some other "manual" method.

I assume that the entire disk encryption will wipe out the Windows part of the Dual boot which IS NOT what I want.

How do I create a dual-boot with the Ubuntu portion being encrypted (full)?
