[Solved]Mount windows encrypted partition

Hi,
I have encrypted the Windows 7 system partition fully using truecrypt. In Linux when i try to mount that partition [/dev/sda1] it says "incorrect password of not a truecrypt partition". I am entering the same password which I use while booting into Windows, that is pre-boot password.:/

Re: [Solved]Mount windows encrypted partition

Do you use the same truecrypt version on windows and linux? also to be able to mount encrypted systems you have to activate a separate checkbox telling that the partition is using system encryption in truecrypts mount dialog (don't know where exactly it is since I didn't use truecrypt in a while), otherwise it will show the error you mentioned.

Re: [Solved]Mount windows encrypted partition

I guess I never expected a Wiki article to be there about truecrypt.
It's true when they say archwiki has got everything!
