After a couple of hours of getting nowhere with google searches, its time to break down and ask the experts.
I have a MacBook Air, with Bootcamp. OSX on one partition, Windows system on another, and a data partition as a third partition (NTFS).
I understand that Truecrypt whole-disk encryption, for the Windows system partition, is a no-go, and the reasons are pretty clear (google is full of these questions about this)
However.. if I just want to encrypt the NTFS data partition, using the Windows version of TrueCrypt, in-place, am I likely to break anything?
i.e. does TrueCrypt change anything in partition tables, or other sensitive parts, when it encrypts in-place?
Hoping that someone out there has had experience with this...
