I've recently installed the latest TrueCrypt version which does whole disk encryption. I have encrypted my HD on my laptop and want to verify that it is doing what it is saying that it's doing. So far to test I have used the Knoppix Insert seurity live CD and tried to mount the drive. Unsuccessful as I figured it should be. Then I used GParted to take a peek at the drive and it showed as uknown file type or unformatted. Anything else I can do to verify the encryption?
