Encrypting hard drive
Hi,
I have a customer who is keep client's confidential information/documents on his laptop and he is worried about the possibility of getting his laptop stolen and someone takes the hard drive out of this laptop and connect to another PC and access information/documents.
So he like to find the way to protect the data on the hard drive.
I am not familiar with data security other than assigning a password for each WORD/EXCEL file, but that would be too much work and would create a lot of inconvenience.
Is there a simpler solution to this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like TrueCrypt is good thing to use. How does it work? Does it cost money? Do you install some type of program and that is it?
