first of all I apologize for my broken english as it might make this text more difficult to understand.

I have a pc with windows 10 installed on a 250GB ssd, I also use a 1TB hdd to save files and install some programs.

I would like to dual boot ubuntu on my ssd and also assign it a partition of my hdd to store files. The thing is that I want to isolate ubuntu from windows as much as possible and I read that this could be achieved by encrypting ubuntu (both the ssd and hdd partitions).

My questions is:

How can I do all this?, when I search for dual booting or encrypt one OS I only find videos and blogs explaining how to do it if you have just one drive and not two as in my case.

I’m not so sure how you’d go about doing this in one go, but I’ve done something similar on my dual-boot machine with several attached drives, and this can be summarized as:

  1. Select the encrypt option for your OS partition during OS installation. This takes care of one part.
  2. Use Vera Crypt (a multi-platform freeware) post OS installation to encrypt your HDD drive with a custom key. Here’s the link: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html

NOTE: the drives/partitions might still appear upon booting into other OS within the same system, but provided they were encrypted, they will not be accessible.
