Yes. This can be achieved by running TrueCrypt in portable mode under BartPE or in a similar environment. BartPE stands for “Bart’s Preinstalled Environment”, which is essentially the Windows operating system prepared in a way that it can be entirely stored on and booted from a CD/DVD (registry, temporary files, etc., are stored in RAM – hard drive is not used at all and does not even have to be present). The freeware Bart’s PE Builder can transform a Windows XP installation CD into a BartPE CD. Note that you do not even need any special TrueCrypt plug-in for BartPE.
