			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>sda1: Windows Vista encrypted with TrueCrypt<br />
sda2: Ubuntu Hardy Heron /boot partition (not encrypted)<br />
sda3: Ubuntu Hardy Heron encrypted volume with LVM inside and / and swap partions within LVM (to save partitions used overall incase it gets over 5 partitions)<br />
sda4: Working on installing OSX Leopard on this partition currently.</p>
<p>The steps I used are as follows, in brief:<br />
1) Installed Vista first (actually pre-installed on laptop)</p>
<p>2) Installed Ubuntu second using encrypted physical volume with LVM inside it and 2 partions / and swap inside the LVM(at this point, grub was in the MBR)</p>
<p>3) Ran full windows system encryption (not full disk encryption) through TrueCrypt and let it write its bootloader to the MBR. (obviously overwriting Grub in the MBR)</p>
<p>4) Booted with a live cd and copied the truecrypt bootloader from the MBR to a file in the /boot partition (sda2)<br />
use these commands to do so:<br />
<em>dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/boot/truecrypt.mbr count=1 bs=512<br />
dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/boot/truecrypt.backup count=8 bs=32256</em></p>
<p>5)Reinstalled grub to the MBR using these commands:<br />
<em>sudo grub<br />
install (hd0,1)/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0,1)/grub/stage2 0&#215;8000 p</em></p>
<p>6) Added a chainloader to the menu.lst Vista entry to point to the truecrypt bootloader within the /boot partition like so:</p>
<p><em>title Windows Vista/Longhorn<br />
rootnoverify (hd0,0)<br />
makeactive<br />
chainloader (hd0,1)/truecrypt.mbr<br />
boot</em></p>
<p>The only partition not encrypted in the /boot partition so far, which is fine. After grub loads, no matter which OS I choose, I enter a passphrase and that OS starts.</p>
<p>For more detailed instructions which I pulled from but which are for XP instead of Vista, use this link:</p>
