This isn't a solution to your question, it actually adds to your problem.

I just read this article about an issue when decrypting files on unencrypted hard drives.

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/148513/data_can_leak_from_partially_encrypted_disks.html - Data Can Leak 
From Partially Encrypted Disks

There is a link to the detailed paper at the bottom of the article.

Have you check at the encryption vendor sites.  They are likely to have papers and articles that will answer your 
question.  Check out Trucrypt, PGP, any others you can think of.

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/129771-3/the_simple_way_to_keep_your_private_files_private.html - The 
Simple Way to Keep Your Private Files Private.  This article may have a clue to the solution you are looking for.  It 
refers the the new "TPM" chip that stores encryption keys, or it's proxy, storing keys on USB.
