Evening guys!
I have a machine that is going to be holding some data I expect comes under the bounds of the UK Data Protection Act, so I'm intending to err on the side of caution.
The data is limited to a couple of files, but I want to be sure that any temp files etc are secure in the event that my PC is nicked by Mr Burglar.
I've used Truecrypt in the past for securing the odd zip file, but never as a pre-boot system to encrypt an entire system drive. Has anyone got any good/bad experiences, alternative recommendations, or tips for this?
The system drive in question is an 80Gb SSD on Windows 7 running over AHCI.
Oh, or if there's somewhere where I can find out ALL the possible temp locations that files could get put to, I could always just encrypt all the temp folders and the original files, which should be enough?
Cheers!
