Re: whole disk encryption on multi boot laptop

Paul,

I would recommend looking into hardware based FDE drives. There are
several manufacturers that offer these.

1) Create a bit-by-bit ghost image of your current drive;
2) swap the current drive with a hardware based FDE drive;
3) restore the image on the new drive;
4) Initialize the new FDE from your Windows partition.

This is a how I got FDE on both of my computers. Please feel free to
email me directly, if you have questions about my setup.

Thanks

Dear List,

I have a Lenovo T61 laptop which has the folllowing Os's:
XP
Ubuntu
Backtrack3

Due to my work environment I need to implement a whole disk encryption
solution.  I would like to do this without having to rebuild the box,
however I can if necessary.  Does anyone have any suggestions on the
best way to pursue this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks!
