    What product did you use to encrypt the disk? You describe Linux parallels instead of describing what you did with Windows. There is not enough info here for a useful answer.

  • @harrymc I'm not asking for a specific solution e.g. using TrueCrypt. I'm just asking for anything that would allow windows system volume encryption as well as remote unlocking via ssh. Perhaps another fork of TrueCrypt or FreeOTFE or whatever - I would gladly use it and encrypt my system volume with it. I used the LUKS example to show that such solutions exist, at least for linux. (I edited the question for clarification)

    One solution might be to convert Windows 7 into a virtual machine inside Linux.

    I just found this question which mentions kexec. This could be the holy grail: Booting into a LUKS-encrypted linux by unlocking it via ssh, then using kexec to directly boot a TrueCrypt-encrypted windows system volume from there using the TrueCrypt rescue disk. I'll try that. :)

    @climenole PsExec can only be used to execute applications on an already booted windows system. Therefore, it is no solution for my scenario.
