    Hi,

    Would anyone know of a good alternative for full disk encryption other than Bitlocker or Truecrypt as it doesn't seem to support Windows 8 ?

    Cheers.

    Had no luck trying full disk encryption with it. Diskcryptor suggested by the poster above is however really simple and seems effective.

    Would anyone know going slightly off topic when presented with three volumes which it seems possible to encrypt called:

    Windows RE tools
    Samsung_rec (NTFS)
    Samsung_rec2 (FAT32)

    Is there any point in encrypting these recovery tools ? Do they hold any personal information ?

    Cheers.
