So now when I reboot, I am presented with the following boot options. I haven't encrypted yet, this is just the test version. Question, if I have two bootable disks, each one not connected to the other one, I have to encrypt each one separtely? Without selecting the multiboot option? And VC will create a separate bootloader entry for each one, without them interfering with each other? Why did I get that initial period when the machine rebooted and no disks were visible? I went into UEFI and changed...

What about the scenario where you have multiple SSDs but each SSD correlates to only 1 OS? Is that still the multiboot scenario? Or, if I boot into a specific OS and run VeraCrypt there, to encrypt the entire partition, does that mean I should select single boot or multi-boot? I am confused.

My MSI GT80 UEFI machine came back after about 5 reboots/shutdowns, it was certainly scary. I did the "Encrypt the Windows System Partition" test (Not the whole drive). It would boot directly into BIOS/UEFI and none of my disks would be visible. F11 to select a boot device didn't do anything, it would not see a flash drive, it was really stuck. It didn't even get to the "Windows has a problem" screen described above. Why is that? Then upon reboot #5 it recognized F11 and I booted into the disk which...

I have a similar problem. I have a MSI Win10 machine with 6 SSDs in it. I did the disk encryption option and chose the "single boot", not "multiboot" because I thought it referred to the number of operating systems on the SSD. I did the test, never actually encrypted, it rebooted and now goes directly into UEFI. None of the 6 disks are visible there. I have 2 bootable disks out, both are Win10. How do I get it to boot, to see the disks? I tried secure boot on/off, fast boot on/off, nothing helps....

Hello, On any PC in UEFI GPT two partitions should not be encrypted: the EFI partition (UEFI must read it at startup, moreover all Windows PCs have the same files in this partition) the MSR partition (16 MB reserved by Windows), to date it is empty and unformatted So it's normal that the option is grayed out can only be encrypted system partition C: and data partitions set in system favorites. Have a nice day Basically it cannot be done.

"Encrypt whole drive" option is grayed out. Both on Dell 3340 and MSI GT80. What is the point of even having that option if I can't encrypt the bootloader?
