I've encrypted my system partition using TrueCrypt and I've read that I can mount my encrypted data partition (TrueCrypt volume) on boot by making it a "System Favorite" and giving it the same password as the system partition. However it doesn't work and I have to mount it manually every time.

See this example.

I've tried enabling "Cache pre-boot authentication password in driver memory (for mounting of non-system volumes)" in System -> Settings, but that didn't change anything either.

Any ideas?

FYI, I'm currently struggling with exactly the same issue. At some point I got it working but it ignored the assigned drive letters; now it's broken again. – Christoph Rüegg Nov 23 '11 at 18:50

Take care, that you use a english keyboard-Layout when setting the passwort for the volume. (because the pre-boot-auth-password will be typed with english keybord)

How does this solve it not mounting? – Simon Sheehan Nov 29 '11 at 23:27
