256MB /boot partition, bootable, unencrypted; Remaining disk size as / partition, encrypted; The installer warned me about 'no EFI partition found' but I ignored it, because I like to live dangerously. But that installation isn't bootable, grub complains about 'ELF magic' and drops me into rescue mode.
0. You need to set up bootable flag on these partitions you want to boot from. You can do that either from Linux (fdisk/cfdisk) or from Windows (diskmgmt.msc).

@LPChip Yes ;) Let me explain: I've installed Windows many many times, but at the end it's always slow from a USB flash drive.

Create or choose the 'system' partition – an NTFS partition that'll hold the Windows BOOTMGR and the BCD. It must be a primary partition, and Microsoft also wants it to be separate from the main Windows partition (C:) – official docs.

Once copied, set the drive to 'active' in Disk Management (Start | Run | diskmgmt.msc) and either change the boot disk in the BIOS or shutdown and physically swap the disks over.
