"Create a volume (you probably want to select ""Entire system drive"")
Follow instructions based on your preferences (example: multiboot options)
Set encryption algorithm on volume
Set volume password
You will be prompted for a password before booting into the GUI as shown below:

These instructions are for windows. Truecrypt does not currently support encryption of the entire system drive in OS X. (See documentation at http://www.truecryptdotorg/docs/system-encryption)"
