Hmm, maybe that's what went wrong - I encrypted a whole partition on an 
external USB IDE drive, although I don't see why that would be a problem. 
Both the other tests I did were with encrypted files as volumes. I'll give 
that another try, I don't fancy completely reloading both windows and linux 
again though! (not that I've done that yet, I'm still investigating if I can 
get my old partitions back first.
