 I don't think we have had to deal with Bootcamp with our FDE installs for the past few years. FWIW, keep in mind that 
Mac OS 10.7 purports to have "real" full disk encryption.

Subject: [SECURITY] SecureDoc Encryption for Macs


Hello all,

I am hoping someone can help me.  I work at The University of Texas at San Antonio.  We are in the midst of encrypting 
all university-owned laptops under a mandate from our president.  We have bought SecureDoc to encrypt the Mac laptops 
on campus but most (over 80%) of our laptops have BootCamp installed on them.  According to WinMagic, Inc., they will 
not support SecureDoc on a dual boot Mac laptop unless there is a self-encrypting hard drive installed on the laptop.  
My question is has anyone successfully encrypted a Mac laptop with BootCamp that does not have a self-encrypting hard 
drive with SecureDoc?  I have been able to encrypt the Mac side but then I am not able to boot into Windows.  Is there 
anyone who could point me in the right direction?

Thank you,
Pebby Garner
