If you can wait until Vista comes, the Ultimate and Enterprise editions will
have a feature called Bitlocker, under-file system encryption, protecting
from pre-OS attacks.

Subject: Laptop Encryption & Write Permissions
I am looking into encryption for laptops. Specifically, I like the idea
of only encrypting one of two partitions (the non-OS holding partition).
This partition would hold data and programs for the user, and the
unencrypted partition would hold the OS. =20 Is it simple permissions to
force users to write data (including swap and all temporary files) to
the encrypted partition? Essentially, for the user the OS part would be
read only.
Thanks!
