Hi.
I have big problem - after i encrypt my whole drive (1000GB) i put new drive (500gb) in to pc.
Then without unpluging 1000GB drive i start installing linux mint 18 in 500GB drive.
Something went wrong - when i chose to boot 1000GB drive i see linux boot error :(
Trying to unplug 500GB and start pc with just 1000gb encrypted drive with no success.
Plz help me have important stuff in that encrypted drive...
Best regards.

Hello,
start with Your rescue disk and repair the mbr.

P.S. In case You just want to gain access to Your data, You can use the pre-boot-authentication for tat purpose.

The easiest way is to burn a CD with thie Rescue-ISO. It is much more complicate to prepare the USB to be able to boot. The solution can be found here in the forum.
