I just installed Rollback RX on a Truecrypt (100%) encrypted hard drive. When booting all that is shown is a blinking underscore (no button combination seems to pass this).

It is an X61T and therefore has no CD drive.

Any tips?

Thanks,
Joe

does trucrypt affect the MBR? I think if it does there may be a problem there.

I saw a post on the Truecrypt forums saying "According to Wikipedia, Rollback RX installs into the MBR. TrueCrypt also installs into the MBR, so no, they would not be compatible."

Unfortunately that was after I installed both :) (Truecrypt first)

Is there any non-destructive way to cure the MBR?

Cheers,
Joe
