No. Totally encrypted drives have an encrypted file table. Windows will see it 
as junk unless it has the transaction layer software to see it.

Subject: [H] Windows not seeing FAT32 created in Linux?


I created a encrypted FAT32 partition under Linux with all my data
using Truecrypt. Works great.  I just tried to mount the same
partition in XP and it mounts but then windows tells me it needs to be
formatted.  WTF?  Shouldn't it work?

I also have a USB key that was formatted using FAT32 that gives me the
same problem.  I could understand if it was ext or NTFS it would be
hard to move between the two but I thought FAT was practically
universal?

The problem is that I can't boot into linux (posted in another thread)
but I can boot into Windows and would like to have access to my damn
data.

Grrrrr......I really hate it when your puter decides to take a shit at
the worst possible moment.
