Can you use this script if your drive is encrypted with VeraCrypt? #172

As in the title, can I use it while my system partition is encrypted with VeraCrypt? I know that I the risk is always there, however are there any determinate problems with that?

It should be ok.

I checked VeraCrypt BootEncryption.cpp and it looks like they just replace the MS loader (bootmgfw.efi) with VeraCrypt, so HackBGRT should work just fine.

If HackBGRT says "MS boot loader not found", you may need to install from command-line with setup.exe batch install allow-bad-loader enable-entry.

Give it a try and tell everyone if it works. :)

I've tried and it worked when I applied the steps from readme.md. The image doesn't appear on the login page, however it shows up after entering the password. Thank you!
