    Earlier this month there was a small discussion on a few HDD encrypting
    tools. Looking back through the headers it started on 7/7/05, you can't
    miss it. I havn't actually done any encrypting on this level so I really
    cant help you out much more than that, but you might want to take a look
    at that thread until someone more knowledgable comes around.
