| compuman | I just installed Ubuntu Studio on a Windows 7 machine. when i tried to boot my truecrypt bootloader wouldn't accept my pass. I know that pass and i have the ISO, but i need to mount my encrypted drive. the machine i installed on won't boot any live OSes i've tried. HELP! | 20:17 |
| holstein | compuman: hey | 20:18 |
| holstein | im heading out | 20:18 |
| holstein | and its slow in here | 20:19 |
| compuman | heyk | 20:19 |
| compuman | K | 20:19 |
| holstein | you might want to try #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners | 20:19 |
| compuman | ok | 20:19 |
| compuman | thanks | 20:19 |
| holstein | this is not an ubuntustudio specific issue | 20:19 |
| holstein | *in theory | 20:19 |
| compuman | ok | 20:19 |
| holstein | compuman: what is a truecrypt bootloader? | 20:19 |
| holstein | thats what i would look into | 20:19 |
| holstein | when you install buntu | 20:19 |
| holstein | buntu wants to install GRUB | 20:19 |
| holstein | and if you didnt say "dont install grub" | 20:20 |
| holstein | it did, or tried to | 20:20 |
| holstein | and whatever bootloader you had is probably upset | 20:20 |
| holstein | usually, dual booters use GRUB | 20:20 |
| compuman | truecrypt bootloader sits on top of the native bootloader and decrypts my main Windows HDD partition | 20:20 |
| holstein | to boot win, lin and whatever | 20:20 |
| holstein | compuman: who makes it? | 20:21 |
| holstein | is it capable of booting lin? | 20:21 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 20:21 |
| holstein | ^^ this might be relavant | 20:21 |
| holstein | IF you can get rid of your current bootloader | 20:21 |
| compuman | truecrypt makes the bootloader and i've been booting linux for 9 months with this setup. | 20:21 |
| holstein | and install grub to your disk with a live CD | 20:22 |
| holstein | compuman: hmmm | 20:22 |
| holstein | im not familiar with it | 20:22 |
| holstein | but, i would start there | 20:22 |
| compuman | ok thanks for the help! | 20:22 |
| holstein | http://gag.sourceforge.net/ | 20:22 |
| holstein | i thin... | 20:22 |
| holstein | oh well :) | 20:23 |
