For sure you need DriveCrypt Plus Pack. DriveCrypt is a very good and strong encryption software but it doesn't encrypt OS partition.
Try the Plus Pack version, you will be able to encrypt the OS partition with this one.

Hello all,

You are absolutely right, Platao should use Drive Crypt Plus Pack for what he needs.

I am a user of this software and I can assure you it met my needs and it works great. I am using the feature called bootauth, which is a great feature for protecting your sensitive data, it is a system that provides pre-boot authentication.

Bootauth is installed onto your default system boot disk (C: in most cases, of course) and provides you with a fully graphical login mechanism; this allows you to authenticate yourself before windows boots and provides an extra layer of security for your computer. Before the OS boots, you will be presented with a password entry screen, so imagine...an EXTRA layer of security.

Again, I must say I am very pleased with Drive Crypt Plus Pack and I can only encourage you to test it, I think it even has a 30 days free trial...

Good luck!
