    How can i have a encrypted os drive with no bootloader and the bootloader on a usb or cd disk so that no one can proove that the hard drive has an encrypted os on it and thus no need for a hidden os?

    At this time, you cannot move or install the bootloader on an external device.

    You can vote-up the request to move the bootloader using the link below and look around at other feature requests that you want to vote-up.

    Technically speaking I believe the bootloader is on the iso recue file that is created during encryption... The bootloader would just need to be scrubbed off the hard drive and the iso could be used to boot. I hope there will be a feature made soon to do this when setting up new encypted partitions.

    In addtion: The link you provided me is a different reason why the bootloader should be moved. I simply want it moved so that a complicated and unnecssary hidden OS wouldnt need to be created as a encypted os hard disk would simply look like raw data without the usb key or other media with the necessary bootloader on it.

    TL;DR: Want the same bootloader we currently use just not on the hard drive that is encrypted opposed to a new bootloader that perler wants.
