[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1660795, member: 131855"] I haven't tried Bootcamp partitions from an encrypted drive but my gut instinct is that it is a problem waiting to happen. I suspect that the Bootcamp partition was created before FileVault encryption was applied. If the FileVault encryption is only being applied to the OS X partition it might be possible to reinstall Windows without having to decrypt the drive, recreating the Win partition from scratch, then encrypting the drive again.
