I don't think so, since I haven't. And never claimed so.


Maybe you have a problem with statements? The I'll better summarize the
current point:

- TrueCrypt does support encrypting entire media including partition tables,
so it's FDE.
- TrueCrypt does support booting from encrypted partitions using pre-boot
authentication.
- But not oth things simultaneously on the same media.

I use partition encryption for the OS, and FDE volume encryption for the data.

It does claim so, supports it very well and I can easily verify on my system
that it actually does.

No. I just think that you're too stupid to read the documentation and/or try
it yourself - before posting your spouted nonsense.
