I wouldn't bet the security of my company's data on such a scheme.
You could use the free FIPS utility. [Except I'm not sure whether it works
on NTFS partitions, and make sure you have a backup and plenty of free disk
space and defragmented for contigous free space first.]
You could also just purchase additional hard drives. Depending on what kind
of drives you're using, they're relatively cheap.
