You need your windows in an unencrypted partition. At that point, grub should detect it. You should have at least two unencrypted partitions -- Your windows dual-boot and /boot...And optionally swap, but that would be separately encrypted. --b On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 8:18 AM, J. Bakshi wrote: >

Indeed I am. For several reasons. First off, it is the path of least resistance. If I LUKS encrypt the whole banana, I only need one passphrase or key file for the entire thing. If I have to manually decrypt a number of filesystems, I end up having to type multiple passphrases (best security pract
