Can someone help me out here?

and ya gotta enter a passwd when you boot. i used to have one but i forgot.

Are you sure you would want to do that? Your computer would have one hell of a boot time.

 

[chasem]

wouldn't it be the same principal as 'opeining' a 4 gb container?

 

[Dissipate]

It would depend on the algorithm and number of bits used, but your hard drive is only 4 GB?

Is this for win or linux?

 

[chasem]

win xp pro

Actually no, I have my entire HDD encrypted with little performance hit. There are numerous ways to do this umder linux. I am using 256-AES.

Cant be of help with Windoze. I only used PGP under windows to encrypt containers (up to 40 gb).

But AFAIK you couldnt boot this way.

... why?

Just use NTFS's efs to encrypt your pr0n / fbi records

 

[chasem]

so any good ideas?

Agreed I would do this then use PGPDisk to encrypt the important stuff.

 

[chasem]

so pgpdisk you say?

 

[chasem]

yea, but is pgpdisk on-the-fly?

 

[chasem]

if i use diskcrypt to encrypt my boot sector, like it says, does that really not encrypt anything?

i mean, if someone wanted too they could just look at the raw data and put together files
