Try with 'Secret-Disk' from Lattice. It will take a part of your hard
disk partition (you will decide how much) and create a logical
partition. The whole partition will be encrypted that means empty tracks
too. If you have let's say a drive C: before, you will have
addtionnallyy a drive D:. You may turn on/off that disk as you like.
Turning on the disk means that you will have to enter the passsword you
did use for the encyption of the partition. There is a resident module
load from 'config.sys' when you boot the system. You may work on your
secret drive like on a normal drive.
I am using 'Secret Disk' for years now and don't have one complaint.
