Persistence help for a newbie

Hey Parrot crew.

Please be patient with me, I’m (semi) new to linux and might need a little more instruction than you’re used to. With that being said, I’m trying to set up a persistence for my bootable Parrot Sec OS using a Memorex 64GB drive on any Acer Nitro running Windows 11. I can make the bootable drive with Etcher no problem, but tried to mess with the partitions with Gparted once Parrot booted and ended up deleting the bootable image. I was following a thread in this community linked here

I reflashed the image with Etcher and I’m back to square one. Any help you can provide is appreciated.


  • ParrotOS iso in use:
    I have Parrot booting live with no persistence. I’m trying to set myself up on Windows 11 and live boot Parrot, but if I can boot Parrot and then set up the persistence I have no problem trying it that way.

  • Application used for flashing the iso:
    Balena Etcher

I tried this guide last night Encrypted Persistence Parrot-Security 4.7
I still have no persistence but the disk is encrypted and asks me for the luks password when logging in…
