    dualboot kali with a truecrypt windows

    I used this method to dualboot kali with a truecrypt windows using grub2.

    1. Copy the rescue ISO to /boot and name it truecrypt.iso
    2. Code:
      sudo apt-get install syslinux
      sudo cp /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk /boot
    3. Add the following to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
      Code:
      # Windows with TrueCrypt
      menuentry "Microsoft Windows" {
      insmod part_msdos
      insmod ext2
      set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
      linux16 ($root)/memdisk iso raw
      initrd16 ($root)/truecrypt.iso
      }
      the 3 means that the /boot dir is on partition 3 from hd0 (use fdisk -l to check if you're not sure anymore
    4. Code:
      update-grub

    Hi Forgive me my ignorance.

    The "rescue ISO" to which you refer is generated by when I do Truecrypt encryption of HD?

    I have 03 partitions on my HD:

    / dev/sda1 (My Windows 7);
    / dev/sda2 (Ext 4 with Kali linux) and
    / dev/sda3 (Swap)

    How would my item 3? Remain the same as they put up?

    Sorry for grammar mistakes. I'm using google translator.
