In the free space, allocate 200 MB for a EXT4 partition and set it to be mounted to /boot.

Run the installer, but manually set the partitions, do not use the automatic configurations Boot back into the USB Linux in persistent mode.Do not interrupt this (your screen might be blank for a long time) I personally would reboot into Windows right now, because we resized that Windows partition, Windows will freak out and do a disk check on the next boot.Remember to commit your changes to the USB drive.You will encounter an error trying to make a encrypted partition if you do not do this. First run “sudo swapoff -v -a” in the terminal, then use GParted (or similar) to delete the swap partition. If swap space is found on your USB drive, you need to remove the swap partition.

Use GParted or a similar tool to resize your Windows partition to free up some space for Linux, note that Linux Mint 15 requires about 6 GB minimum, plus more if you need swap space.Boot into the USB drive containing Linux, use persistent mode.Create a bootable USB drive containing your Linux distribution (I used LinuxLive USB Creator and Linux Mint 15, make sure it supports persistent mode!.Test it out, reboot into the USB drive, you may need to adjust your BIOS settings.

Create a bootable USB drive containing Super GRUB2 Disk, you can try using one of these tools:.Create a bootable Windows 7 rescue disk, using UNetbootin and a Windows 7 installation disk image.Also you might need a CD burner and a CD-R for the TrueCrypt rescue disk. You will also need a few USB drives, use a 8GB for the Linux installer, 2GB for the Super GRUB2 Disk (optional step), and a 4GB for Windows 7 recovery (optional step). My computer has 8 GB of RAM and uses a SSD so I prefer to not use swap space, which is convenient because it means one less partition to deal with. This guide assumes that you have a Windows 7 installation that you are not willing to wipe, and you do not have Linux yet. Make a back up of everything first! And make sure your backup is encrypted.
#TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE 2020 WINDOWS 8.1#
WARNING: DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 8.1 BECAUSE TRUECRYPT DOES NOT SUPPORT GPT PARTITIONS I came up with an alternative solution for people who wants to boot directly into Windows with a silent TrueCrypt login most of the time, but needs a few extra keystrokes to get into Linux. This is an ugly solution as a mainly Windows user because it involves a few extra keystrokes to activate the rescue partition, and the rescue partition is not hidden.
#TRUECRYPT ALTERNATIVE 2020 HOW TO#
There are several guides on the Internet about how to create a dual boot system with TrueCrypt but all of them involve placing the TrueCrypt rescue disk image into a separate partition. I used to have TrueCrypt encrypting my entire hard drive, but TrueCrypt does not really support dual boot systems with GRUB, because TrueCrypt must reside on the Master Boot Record (MBR). I also want to encrypt my entire hard drive for privacy. I am a mainly Windows 7 user who needs to use Linux only sometimes, so I need a dual boot system.
