Hi,
I just started a new article on how to dual boot when one receives a computer with SafeBoot drive encryption installed already. I posted for help on this HERE and HERE if you want some back-story. It wasn't easy, but I'm super excited about the setup now and wanted to write a HowTo. There is a decent amount of discussion about this on the web and I have not found many solutions that aren't a bit convoluted (making backups of the encrypted SafeBoot MBR, then trying to chainload to that file with grub) and I think where I ended up is the simplest, least risky, leaves company issued junk as untouched as possible, and yet provides a dual boot setup with shared file access.
Best of all, I've not found my setup elsewhere; if that's really the case, it happened on Arch first!
Check out the article where I've summarized what I did: LINK
I'm posting here as I wonder if it deserves its own page or if I should merge it with Windows and Arch Dual Boot, which already exists. I could see it either way, so I wanted to ask here. While it would make it easier to find being grouped with the general dual-boot with Win article, it's also fairly specialized so I could see leaving it top level so that it develops a page rank when someone searches for "safeboot linux" or "safeboot dual boot windows" or something like that.
Thoughts? I hope to finish the article tonight or tomorrow with specifics.
