As above, using WinXP Home instead of Pro, and only just now looking at a feature I'm missing that I need.

Specifically, I'm looking at encrypting my personal data ('My Documents' and a couple other folders). Passwords I pick are pretty bizarre, and a nice 256-bit or 512-bit encryption would be awesome.

I'd really prefer it not fuX0r with my backup software (Norton Ghost), antivirus software (Norton Antivirus), etc (hell, everything is Norton).

Anything out there like that?
 
Okay, halfway solution - created a 200gb partition and 50gb partition on my hdd. Then, used a program called Truecrypt to mount the 50gb partition as a second drive with 256-bit 'Serpent' encryption. Moved my documents folders over, XP's "My Documents" folder, pointed Firefox to put its cache on that drive, and moved my Outlook .pst folder over.

Think I'm set!
