I've used TrueCrypt before, not like this, but it honestly depends on the algorithm you choose for encryption. There are algorithms faster than some hard drive read/write rates and performance is barely depreciated, while other algorithms are much more intense to decrypt.
Still, once I have some time, I will do this to my system.
OK, had a friend explain that I would still need a small partition somewhere on my hard drive not encrypted for the TC bootloader to go. The article does not mention this, instead says, "Pre-boot authentication is handled by the TrueCrypt Boot Loader, which resides in the first cylinder of the boot drive."
So can someone explain to me the requirements of accomplishing this?
