If you want something to do the same as Bitlocker and you have windows 7 workstations then, silly question I know, why not use Bitlocker? You dont explain why you can not or dont want to use bitlocker.
I recommend DiskCryptor. It's open source/free and the code can be inspected.
It's kept up to date and there is a support forum.
It has exactly the feature you are looking for (Storing the decryption key on a flash drive)
From the website...
Option to place boot loader on external media and to authenticate using the key media.

Truecrypt is still available for download and I think it supports the usb feature.
Unfortunately it is no longer supported.

Neilsr,
Bitlocker is only available on Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate
and ITMaster1979 only has the Pro version.
besides .... I wouldn't really trust bitlocker with commercially sensitive data
I'd bet that there is a built-in backdoor ..... search for yourself.
