I have here a windows on a full encrypted hd. I cannot disable this encrypted hd. Everything should be unchanged, I just want to Install Ubuntu on an extra partition. But here I think the problem is: if the full hd is encrypted I cannot borrow some space for an extra partition right? So what should I do? :/

  • Options: Install in a virtualization solution. Install on USB removable media. Mar 22, 2012 at 14:23
  • A bootable usb stick with ubuntu? Yeah that could work, but its a little bit too slow. I would like to work on the real hd.

Your best bet is to install Ubuntu using Wubi. It's not ideal but it's the only option you have (that doesn't include losing your Windows install).

The only other option is to get a new hard drive or to completely wipe Windows.
