    What about multi-snapshots for the data partition only, and boot-to-restore for the system partitions? This was my plan from a new pc i had just bought, is that not ok?

    I hear jetico sometimes on here, will have to give it a try and see how it works out.

    I did actually test diskcrypt on a friends laptop but it failed, would not allow me to boot off bootloader then cdrom to install windows 8 cleanly....

    I tried then to use disc cloning software like easeUS and another 2 cloning software but they nagged and complained the image of C drive must be placed on a hard drive of the same size. I may have to try acronis.

    Wonder how you guys are doing the perform FDE and then copy windows to it ?

    Why the hell would anyone scrub their harddrive if they already use full-disk encryption?

    Read the previous posts. Why the hell do you even want to keep data that should be scrubbed?

    If key is known then data would be recoverable if not scrubbed.

    I use ccleaner 1 pass overwrite, followed by encryption. This the right and safest way ?
