You can use www.truecrypt.org:

``Traveller Mode

 TrueCrypt can run in so-called `traveller' mode, which means that it
 does not have to be installed on the operating system under which it
 is run. However, there are two things to keep in mind:

 1) You need administrator privileges in order to able to run
    TrueCrypt in `travelle' mode.

 2) After examining the registry file, it may be possible to tell that
    TrueCrypt was run on a Windows system even if it is run in
    traveller mode.

 If you need to solve these problems, we recommend using BartPE for
 this purpose.''

Alternatively you can bring a laptop with whatever encryption you like
(TrueCrypt is good if you want Windows) and share its disk with your
target host thru network.
