| | 15 | I came up with a different workaround: |
| | 16 | - start VM, clean disk, defragment disk, zero free space, shutdown VM |
| | 17 | - add new VDI of equal size to VM |
| | 18 | - edit .vbox file of VM to add encryption to new VDI (refer to old VDI for format; could not find any way to do this via GUI) |
| | 19 | - add live CD to VM (e.g. SystemRescueCD), start VM, boot into live CD |
| | 20 | - transfer partition table + bootloader to new disk (e.g. 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=63') |
| | 21 | - transfer partition data using ntfsclone (e.g. 'ntfsclone --overwrite /dev/sdb1 /dev/sda1'; repeat for other partitions) |
| | 22 | - shutdown VM, remove old VDI |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | -> done. tested, works fine. |
