I am trying to install VeraCrypt, and on the third screen of the wizard, only "Encrypt the Windows System Partition" is available. The option to "Encrypt the whole drive" is greyed out. Ii want to encrypt the whole drive. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

EFI boot disk can't be full encrypted.
GPT and EFI system boot volume has to be open because loader starts from EFI system boot volume.

ok. Thanks! Can you tell me (or point me to documentation) how I would go about encrypting as much of the disk as possible?
