You encrypt the data not the HDD so all should be fine.

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

Hi ill attempt to answer this ( I may be wrong, it
has been known to happen). I think it depends upon how you
encrypt, you could achieve what you are attempting to do by
using a program such as truecrypt (?) which you will have to
install on both the linux and windows machine.





Hope this helped

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



Hi,



I use both Kubuntu 14.04 64Bit & Microsoft Windows 8.1
Pro 64Bit on same desktop.

I want to encrypt my 1TB data HDD which is NTFS so it can be
used(read/write) from both O.S.'s



Is the above possible, if yes then what program do I use on
Kubuntu 14.04 64Bit to do it?

(I use Kubuntu 14.04 64Bit most of the time and only boot
Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit for testing software)



Thank you in advance for your help...



Jesse
