[clue] Encryption and dual booting

[Robert L. Harris]

I had a similar issue but found a nice clean fix.  I did a p2v on my
windows partition, dropping the output on my home file server.  Once it was
done I wiped it and put Kubuntu on my laptop (thinking I should have done
encrypted homedir).  Copy the vmware p2v output back to the laptop and use
vmware-player to run my windows image.  The only real problem was I had to
go into the vmware vmx file and change my root drive from ide to scsi since
the source was sata.  Brought it right up and all is well .  No dual boot,
I just run vmwware-player full screen on desktop 12.
