Making a password protected Operating System with TrueCrypt can help prevent people from seeing your private files even if they used a Live CD like Ubuntu to try to get around the default Windows Loginscreen to access your computer’s files. With a live Cd, you do not need a password and username to access computer files. It is the simplest way for hacking someone’s computer and stealing files off a encrypted hard drive. Even if they can, they need to crack the encrypted password for the drive before they can steal the files.
You also need to know how to encrypt your system partition for the final step of making a hidden OS on your PC. A hidden OS is the most secure option, but the normal System encryption is faster, and uses less space then the hidden OS encryption option in Truecrypt
TrueCrypt has a feature for just encrypting the system partition to protect a users OS from attacks. It is very easy to use.
Truecrypt is available for free for Windows, Linux, and MAC. However, the current version of Truecrypt can only encrypt Windows system partition and not Ubuntu Linux partitions. I’m not sure about MACs since I’m too poor to afford apple products. The best you can do is install Ubuntu inside a 8-10GB or more Truecrypt file container made with Truecrypt.Â
Backup all your important files before you begin just in case something goes horribly wrong, or you forgot your truecrypt password.
