I've been looking at using software like Safeboot Solo and Drivecrypt Plus Pack, however I have one small problem. I currently Dual boot between Windows XP and Debian, and none of the whole disk encryption software I have looked at currently support this setup. I was wondering if anyone here of any whole drive encryption which would work


Thanks

Hmm maybe ghosting one of the partitions would do it?

If the os's are on different hd's you could do it the hardware way although its a bit... cumbersome.
Disconnect one of the hd's. Make the connected OS bot directly into it (no dual boot)
Encrypt the harddisk with whatever program you want.

Disconnect it, reconnect the other. Make the connected OS bot directly into it (no dual boot)
Encrypt the harddisk with whatever program you want.

Now you can shift between the two hardisks by connecting one and disconnecting the other at a hardware level. Its far from optimal since you cant acces both your hd's at the same time, but its the best i can do.

I've partitioned the HD in my laptop so that I can run both windows and linux.

Try looking into some pre-boot programs that ghost the partitions. Might work. I recommend you back up your data first though
