How was it encrypted? If you used luks, it's likely that Truecyrpt won't work with that. I don't think linux has a way to boot off a Truecrypt encrypted root. I you want to share a partition between Windows and Linux, I think it will need to encrypted with some application that is available for both, and will not be usable on / (perhaps /home will work for you). If you want it mounted during the boot process you'll probably need to do some customization (make an initscript or and some stuff to rc.local). Depending on what you are really trying to do, virtualization may be another path to getting what you want. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
