    Hello,

    Has anyone wrote a how-to or a guick guide on how
    to encrypt an existing partition/disk using gbde?
    I've tried to search in the net but i cudn't find
    any. Is it possible to just move the existing data
    on my disk, cleanup the disk and encrypt using gbde,
    attach to the system, then move back the data to the now
    encrypted disk.

    Thanks,
    - ronnel
