TrueCrypt & upgrading your hard drive?
- by Danielb
I currently use TrueCrypt to encrypt the hard drive in a Win7 laptop (everything in a single partition). I am looking to upgrade the hard drive to a model with significantly more storage capacity. I've had a look through the documentation but I couldn't see anything about this particular scenario.
I assume I need to do something like the following:
Remove the encryption from the existing drive.
Clone the existing drive image onto the new hard drive.
Physically install the new drive into the laptop.
Resize the single partition to use all the space in the new drive.
Encrypt all of the new bigger drive with TrueCrypt.
