That's an interesting idea. Maybe not just character coding, but also keyboard setup: I have a brazilian portuguese keyboard that's working fine under Windows and Linux graphic mode, but quite possibly being used as a standard US keyboard outside X, which is where I enter my password before starting Fedora. I'll have a look at that, since I use some non alphanumerical characters in my password.

I recently decided to encrypt the / Linux partition (ext3) on my dual boot PC (Windows Vista - Fedora 10).
I used to mount it with "Ext2 Installable File System for Windows" (http://www.fs-driver.org) when using Windows, but now that the partition is encrypted, its contents (obviously) appear unreadable and I'm offered to format it.
I was told that software like FreeOTFE and TrueCrypt should let me mount the encrypted partition under Windows if I have the ext3 driver, but it didn't work for me. Will I necessarily have to create a new encrypted volume with one of those programs and then reinstall Fedora (or Windows) in it instead of simply mounting the existing encrypted partition?
I have this bookmarked but I have not tried it as I do not have any windows computers to try it with. It was a "Just in case".

Full procedure to use Ext2fsd and FreeOTFE.
Thank you, but that's exactly what I had done and it kept saying my key was incorrect.
I'll have a better look at my Luks configurations.
I wonder if your having an issue in character coding between Windows and Linux. Try setting a second key that is basic for testing and see if it works. You can delete it later.
