PGP Whole disk encryption (WDE) is an encryption software that encrypts all your data, and includes a bootguard. Because of this, I have been unable to successfully dual-boot, as there is no place to install GRUB. (I did attempt an install, the result of which was a complete loss of my Windows partition, and a completely shot weekend.) I attempted the Ubuntu dual-boot (wubi version, does not install bootloader), but since the sequence is PGP decrytption-bootloader-OS, the data necessary for the install were inaccessible. The computer is a work computer, and I have not been granted permission to decrypt it.  I'm booting off an external drive for now, but are there any good means of doing this?
How to dual-boot on a machine with PGP WDE?

You can install GRUB (instead of the whole OS) on a USB stick or CD and use that for booting. Having such a boot medium is generally nice (at least on non-UEFI systems, if a system gets so screwed up that it doesn't boot any more).
