This is true albeit somewhat banal. Any Windows OTFE program capable of
encrypting partitions has long been able to encrypt all the partitions on
all drives - with the sole exception of the boot partition on the system
drive. That was the last hurdle for Truecrypt, one which v5 has now
cleared.

Truecrypt (for v5 as for previous versions) represents in its documentation
that it does NOT change in any way (much less encrypt) the partition table
on a drive on which Truecrypt partitions reside (i.e., does not encrypt it
and has no special Truecrypt signature byte). I heven't checked whether
this is indeed so in all cases.
