    I want to know why you want to add one more layer of
    file security. If your Hard disk are already encrypted then
    with a strong encryption then you don't need the extra
    Encryption.

    I recommend you use PGP disk ecnryption.
    It has whole disk enceyption as well as it can create files that
    Can act as drives and are assissable using a drive letters.

    Type one password and you can access the files just like on hard disk
    Not exactly transpertnt but almost there and very good product with
    Exceptional support.
