Yes, and I actually managed to completely wreck a working Windows XP
installation with it.  I was trying to encrypt the entire "home"
directory (Documents and Settings), something went wrong and the
installation was hosed.  At this point I don't really want to muck
around with software-based encryption because I dual-boot with WinXP
and Linux, and maintaining it across two different platforms on
different partitions is a hassle.

Basically I want a setup where I turn on the box, type in my pass
phrase and let the hardware encryption do it's thing, whatever OS I
happen to be using.
