    new win7 OS install & encrypted HD's?????


    allmy HD's are CURRENTLY fully encrypted with either TrueCrypt or AXCRYPT..... i have a NEW Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (LEGAL one!) that i want to install (see my other thread in Activation forum about why i have a new legal OS)......can i wipe my hard drives and then install the new OS? or will the encryption still be there? I plan to use the Gutmann 35 pass method of wiping my HD's
