EDIT: I deleted the original and moved [my question][1] to SuperUser. I'm new to serverfault, I've asked [one question][2] and it's been downvoted with no comment. Do you think that's because someone decided that a hard drive in my professional workstation which needs to be encrypted because of my employers rules is not within a "professional capacity"? If so, can you please direct me to more on-topic stackexchange site? Otherwise, suggestions on how to improve my question are welcome.
