I'm trying to install Windows 7 with a TrueCrypt System Drive encrypted partiton along with Mac OS X and probably using rEFIt as the boot loader. So far I've tried several approaches:
Install Windows first, encrypt, everything is working fine. Can't install Mac OS X because the partition table is not GPT.
Partition with Mac OS X install disk, making one partition for Mac OS X and leaving the rest, at the beginning, empty. Can't install Windows because the partition table is GPT.
Install Mac OS X, install rEFIt, install Windows. Can't encrypt because there are not 32kb free at the beginning of the hard disk.
Partition with Mac OS X install disk, making one partition for Mac OS X and leaving the rest, at the beginning, empty. Start rEFIt from the CD, synchronize partitions. Install Windows on the empty space. Can't encrypt because there are not 32kb free at the beginning of the hard disk.
Partition with Mac OS X install disk, making one partition for Mac OS X and leaving the rest, at the beginning, empty. Start rEFIt from the CD, synchronize partitions. Install Windows on the empty space. Re-sync the partition table with rEFIt. Missing operating system.
Is there any way to make it work?
Answer
My solution was to use BitLocker with an USB key instead of TrueCrypt.
