Hello,

My first post here. 

Sapran,

You can try PGP Software, You can create users, so you can keep like admin
user with you and the other user for you user.

It use passphrase, so no more complex password and it support whole disk

Sapran,

We use and resell pointsec (now a check point company).    The reason I 
suggest this is because it provides centralized management and remote 
support (supports single sign-on using windows passwd, includes remote 
support utilities in case users get locked out).

Subject: FDE solution for laptops

Hi list!

I am in search of a solution for full disk encryption. The main goal
is to protect data stored at travelling managers' laptops from loss
and/or theft of device.

I had tried the shiny new TrueCrypt 5 with system drive/partition
encryption, but it made an OEM XP boot into safe mode only, so I guess
that's not a right choice.

I will appreciate any help on topic.

Here come some details:
1) We use mostly Dells: Inprisons, Inspirons and Vostros.
2) The encryption must be easily recoverable using rescue CD/DVD or smth.
