WinXP with Drivecrypt and Gentoo with Grub on one Box

[Liviu]

Hi!

I use Drivecrypt Plus Pack to encrypt my Windows Partition. When you install it, it overwrites the MBR with it`s own one so there is a password prompt at startup. After that, it loads windows. Since the Windows Partition is encrypted i can`t boot it directly with grub. I once installed Suse 9.2 on it and then it worked even with grub. I can`t tell what exact settings have been made by the SuSe installer. When i booted, Grub came first and then if i selected Windows the password prompt of Drivecrypt apeared.

When i installed gentoo and put grub into the MBR, obviously it didn`t work anymore

How can i do the same with gentoo ? I just can`t figure out how to install grub so it works together with the Drivecrypt.

Thanks everyone !

Ok i searched the whole night for a solution. I got an idea..
If I Backup the Drivecrypt MBR onto the /boot Partition as Image, install Grub into the MBR and tell it to load the MBR Image I saved, when I select to boot windows. Is that possible?
