Unique situation: Win7 MBR unable to encrypt using TrueCrypt
SOLUTION FOUND: You have to delete the 100MB Partition and it will work perfectly. Link on how to do this: System Reserved Partition - Delete
edit: Summary of problem-- I get stuck on the part where TC asks you to restart in order to test the bootloader (the "pretest"). My computer restarts, bootloader comes up, I put my password in and it doesn't move past "Booting..."
Hi. My laptop originally came with Win8 UEFI on it. I hated it. So I wiped the whole thing and installed Win7 from "scratch". Changed my "BIOS" to Legacy and disabled Secure Boot.
Here is my problem: I'm trying to encrypt my whole system using Truecrypt. In theory it should work, because my disk is MBR: https://i.imgur.com/j4r4BRm.png (I also checked via cmd.exe if my disk was MBR, and it was)

However, TC gets stuck at "Booting..." and I have to unplug & remove the battery in order to boot the laptop. Whenever I boot it back up, TC tells me that the test failed. I don't understand what the problem is. I know I'm stuck in a pretty unique situation but yea...
What can I do in order to fix this and get TrueCrypt working on my laptop?
