linux - Windows 7 Laptop - Truecrypt - Ubuntu?


I have a windows 7 Professional Laptop that has had the entire drive encrypted so as to require a password to allow it to boot up.


There is only one partition on the drive that takes up the entire drive and its an NTFS one for Windows 7.


Can anyone suggest a good method that will allow me to install Ubuntu Linux on the system as well without disrupting Truecrypt and Windows???


Or am I to assume the easiest method is to unencrypt the drive so its just windows again, install ubuntu, then encrypt the drive?



Answer



Changing drive geometry cannot be done to an encrypted volume. If you stop & think about the situation for a moment... without knowing what is full of data and what isn't... how can you reliably re-size the volume?
