Just wanting what you guys think of this.  There are software out there and maybe with Windows's own Bitlocker one can encrypt an entire drive or partition.  Most of my stuff are just normal photographs and some email.  I only have a small handful of stuff that really needs to be encrypted.  

Out of interest does Bitlocker take a long time to encrypt an entire drive?  AFAIK Windows only encrypt entire drives or partitions.  

Thanks.
