<<PGP Corp. in November plans to ship a new encryption software bundle for laptops, desktops and servers, the company said Monday.

The new Whole Disk Encryption products offer full encryption of the hard drive disk when a computer is turned off, helping protect the data if the PC is stolen or lost. In addition, a PC user can choose to encrypt a file on the fly when a system is running, PGP Corp. said Monday in a statement.>>

having problem to set it up properly, if gives me problem now, how will it be once I lock down the HD?

Be careful what you do. If you have encrypted your data and lose your password nobody will be able to retrieve your files - if you have a good encryption software. That's the whole purpose of encrypting.
