Encrypted File Systems

Hi,

I am just trying to get some info on the best method available for having 
files encrypted on a system. This is a laptop that is going to be used 
outside our physical environment and I would like to make sure that info is 
not accessed in case of the laptop going missing, etc...

I understand that the Windows EFS implementation had some issues on win2k, 
and that the XP implementation is slightly better. Any comments on that?

Any solutions for win98?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
