Dualboot Installed Win7 and Win2012 server VHD on PGP encrypted disk

I need a solution

Hi

I have my laptop, which has been provided for me at work. It comes with PGP WDE 10.2.0 MP3, which is progressing nicely and encrypting everything.

I just paused the encryption process as I forsee some issues with reading the disk, as I tried this on an already encrypted disk earlier and had some bad crashes and load errors. the reason I just got my computer reinstalled, is that the C-drive became too corrupted to even start. It may not be related to me fiddeling with the Windows 2012 evaluation VHD, but the correlation is strong.

 

This is what I have:

1 laptop with a 500GB drive, split into 3 partitions: 
C: (100GB)
D: (300GB)
F: (100GB)

C: contains my provided Windows 7 and is currently 25% encrypted.
D: contains my Win2012.vhd file, which has been inserted in the Windows bootloader and can be selected on system start. Unencrypted.
F: is unused. Unencrypted.

Currently the C-drive is partly encrypted and Windows server 2012 can't read the filesystem anymore and lists the partition as RAW format. When booted in Windows 7, all is well.

When the D-drive become encrypted, the Windows server 2012 VHD will be encrypted too.
* Will Windows 2012 stop working? 
  * Can I prevent it from not working?
    * Is there any drivers that Windows 2012 needs to read the file system better?
  * What if I install PGP WDE on the Windows 2012? Will it make any difference?
    * Can I install it after the disk is encrypted?

* Should I stop worrying?
