Post by: TheDuke on August 15, 2013, 06:43 pm
Tyring to encrypt a Windows 8 tablet and am having no luck. TrueCrypt says that it is unable to encrypt "GUID Partion Table (GPT)" any advice? I am really wanting to encrypt the whole system. If not truecrypt any other options?

I'm guessing that this is because the Windows 8 tablets don't run "true windows" as in Windows 8 Pro...they run a tablet version of Windows that is for ARM processors instead of Intel processors. Not 100% sure because I wouldn't use Windows for anything...just get a cheap netbook and put linux on it or run TAILS for SR...

Honestly I would prefer to keep the Windows book that I got. I hated Windows 8 at first but am adjusting. Either way even if I got a cheap netbook I would still keep the Windows book and still want to encrypt it. Plus I am sure any info would benefit others. Really stumped on this and figured someone would know enough to help me out?
