- Install Windows 7.
- Encrypt system volume with TrueCrypt.
- Boot a Linux live CD with support for isw (Intel Matrix RAID), e.g. Ubuntu 9.04.
- Plug in a thumb drive, mount it on /media/thumb
- dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/thumb/truecrypt.mbr count=1 bs=512
- Install Ubuntu 9.10, DO NOT REBOOT JUST YET because grub2 does not support isw, we want to install grub1
- mount --bind /dev /target/dev
mount -t proc proc /target/proc
mount -t sysfs sys /target/sys
cp /etc/resolv.conf /target/etc
chroot /target /bin/bash - apt-get update
apt-get install grub - mkdir /boot/grub
cp /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/* /boot/grub
grub --device-map=/dev/null
device (hd0,5) /dev/mapper/isw_xxxxxxxxxx_Volume05
root (hd0,5)
setup (hd0) - Plug in the thumb drive where you put truecrypt.mbr, mount it on /media/thumb
- cp /media/thumb/truecrypt.mbr /boot/grub
- Add this to /boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
makeactive
chainloader /boot/grub/truecrypt.mbr
