Thanks! It must be at the qubes FAQ. Next time it will help. I got the idea with cloning drive (vs actual remove it and do something with it). And looks like it's not so hard to decrypt the whole drive and mount some qubes data disks. Hope I will run without troubles, but will know this opportunity for future use. Chris, thanks! Now solved. I'm at EFI. It was not possible to select something on the boot time or I don't know how to do this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
