Is there such thing as encrypting your hard drives so that if you did get someone trying to access data via online hacking it would make the entire harddrive encrypted: instead of just encrypting a folder, the entire system i mean.

As always, make sure you take a backup of your data first. Create a recovery key if the option is available, incase you lose your password. Always test first.

  1. Thanks

    I used this tool to encrypt my laptop hard drive. I’m always travelling and my laptop holds confidential information. I feel a lot safer now!!!

  2. I have used this for a few months now. It’s a good piece of software. It’s army standards so is quite secure.
