Hi Mike,

The reason I want to encrypt the contents of the disk (remember its a file
server not a database server) is because its a requirement for the PCI
Credit Card security standard.

NetLib seem to lead the way when it comes to providing encryption software,
and they understand the security standard.

Regards,
Steve.
