Truecrypt inside of Virtualbox

Post by LDL707 »

I am upgrading to a new laptop from an old one. My old laptop was running Windows 7 32-bit, and had the system partition encrypted with Truecrypt. As I am migrating everything over to the new computer, I'd like to have a virtual copy of my old laptop in case I forgot a file or something. The new laptop is running Windows 7 64-bit.

I used disk2vhd to create a virtual hard disk of my old laptop.

I am able to mount this vhd in Virtualbox. I see the password prompt that I would see when I would boot up my old laptop. But I can't input my password.

Is what I'm trying to do possible? If so, any ideas why Virtualbox wouldn't let me input my password?

Be nice to include some details on what you did, just in case someone else encounters the same issue.
