   Some years ago, I had to prepare for a business trip and therefore I   
   tried to do a harddisk encryption.   
      
   Well, yes, this did work. But, whenever something went wrong and I had to   
   simply switch the notebook off, instead of shutting down, the whole thing   
   crashed and I had to reinstall all.   
      
   This happened 2 or 3 times and finally I gave up. I switched to SATA   
   password and everything was fine :-)   
      
   Best regards,
