There are 3 HDDs on my PC. I have Windows Vista installed on the first drive, Linux mint installed on the 2nd drive, and another Linux Mint installed on the 3rd drive. The Linux bootloader resides on the same drive as Windows Vista (C:, AKA sda). In Veracrypt setup, it asks "Are there any other operating systems installed on the drive on which the currently running operating system is installed?" The answer is no, unless it's asking "is the GRUB bootloader on the Windows drive". Is that what it's asking? I can't find a straight answer for this. The blurb in the setup screen seems to be indicating that any portion of another OS counts, but it's not clear to me.
