Grub/Burg and TrueCrypt Windows 7 on second disk

laegnur · 2014-01-08 19:42:16

Hello.

I have two discs on my pc with this schema

sda
|-sda1 /boot
|-sda2 LUKS LVM Arch

sdb
|-sdb1 TC W7

How can configure Grub so it can start the W7 encrypted with TrueCrypt? TrueCrypt installed is own bootloader in sdb MBR.

Thanks.

Chainloading doesn't work?

Hello.

First said that I used Burg, no Grub, but the config is the same, I think.

I tried with the default Windows 7 menu entry

menuentry "Windows 7" --class windows --class os {
        insmod ntfs
        set root='(hd1,0)'
        chainloader +1
 }

And with the menu entry I found in a blog post

menuentry "Windows 7" --class windows --class os {
        rootnoverify (hd1,0)
        chainloader (hd0,1)/truecrypt.mbr
}

where truecrypt.mbr is a the result of the command

sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/boot/truecrypt.mbr count=1 bs=512

In both cases, the Burg still stand without do nothing, no error, no launch win7.

I would suggest you to either try grub2 instead of burg, or edit the title of the thread and mention burg instead.

Also, give the following answer a try.
