Mount TrueCrypt encrypted system drive on other computer?

I have bought a new HDD for installing a new operating system. Can I, in case I'm missing files, attach the old TrueCrypt-encrypted hard disk to USB and mount it in TrueCrypt?

Or doesn't this work for system-encrypted hard disks?


Solution 1:

In the TrueCrypt GUI, choose the partion of the external drive, then select "Mount without Pre-Boot authentication" from the Tools menu.

This will let you mount the volume as if it were an encrypted device without the boot loader (the difference just being a few offsets as to where TrueCrypt should attempt to decrypt the volume header from)
