USB Stick bootable with encypted partition
So I got this 4GB Sandisk thumb drive...
lets make it useful now...
Under linux:
delete all partitions, create one FAT16 and one Linux, mark FAT16 as bootable and format them:
Install backtrack.. (I said useful right??)
download the USB version from here
lets encrypt the other partition now...
boot Backtrack using the usb stick
create the encrypted volume
select None for filesystem
Load the volume without mounting it
to format the partition using the ext2 filesystem
dismount
and mount again using the truecrypt utility
all done!
thanks for playing :)

Under linux:
cfdisk /dev/sdcor
fdisk /dev/sdc
delete all partitions, create one FAT16 and one Linux, mark FAT16 as bootable and format them:
mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sdc1
Install backtrack.. (I said useful right??)
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/memory
download the USB version from here
mount -o loop -t iso9660 bt3final_usb.iso /mnt/iso
cp /mnt/iso/* /mnt/memory
cd /mnt/memory/boot
./bootinst.sh
lets encrypt the other partition now...
boot Backtrack using the usb stick
create the encrypted volume
truecrypt /dev/sdc2
select None for filesystem
Load the volume without mounting it
truecrypt /dev/sdc2
truecrypt -vl
/dev/mapper/truecrypt0:
Volume: /dev/sda2

mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/truecrypt0
to format the partition using the ext2 filesystem
dismount
truecrypt -d /dev/sdc2
and mount again using the truecrypt utility
truecrypt /dev/sdc2 /mnt/memory
all done!
