Every time I try full system encryption with truecrypt (AES) I'm getting a 'pretest failed' message after my test reboot. The thing is, nothing actually fails, I get a password prompt from the boot loader, windows start correctly first time.

I'm using a samsung 1TB HDD with NTFS, AES encryption, 7 Pass US DoD 5220, default hash algorithm.

I'm really lost when it comes to looking at ways to by pass this but I do genuinely need my system encrypted.

Were you using an algorithm other than AES? Please post a screenshot of the settings used. – Jim G. Aug 28 '12 at 22:59
