[14.04 64Bit] - Can I Encrypt NTFS HDD And It will Work On Dual-Boot Desktop?

[Jesse Palser]

Hi,

Thank you very much for the information.
I'll look at this "truecrypt" application later today.

My only other question is can I encrypt a hard drive with data on it?
or I have to 1st encrypt a blank hard drive and then put the data back 
onto it?

Thanks!

Jesse
