Drive Encryption

I'm going to be ripping out my 40 gig and putting it in a USB2 enclosure to carry around for portable storage. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to protect my data with something like PGPDisk or CryptoFS, but I want it to be accessible from both Windows and Linux. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hmm, don't RAR archives have much stronger encryption than the easy-to-crack Zip files? If there's a 'nix RARer (rawrrr!) you could manually archive and de-archive data as needed.
 
Thanks for the response Dave, but I was looking for something with on-the-fly encryption/decryption. I'll mostly be accessing MP3's and other media types, so ZIP and RAR (matey) won't really do it. Any other ideas?
 
Wow, that is very cool stuff...and probably the closest thing to what I'm looking for, except it's not software based. Kudos for trying though! I'm thinking about ditching the whole encryption idea if I can't find something reasonable. No one wants my bad taste in music anyway.
 
Drive crypt plus pack encrypts the entire hard disk, but I think it has to be on the boot drive to work. For cross platform you can try Best Crypt, which works in both windows and linux (although I beleive you will have to buy two copies of the software; one for linux and one for windows).
