truecrypt

i'm using laptop and PC with single HDD with full disk encryption. I know how works truecrypt on single drive because i use it everyday.

My second laptop has 2 HHDs. My question is how to encrypt first 128GB SSD and second 1TB HDD in same way. I have multiple applications installed on second drive so i want to have it accessible during boot in ex. Steam in installed on second drive and it starts with windows.

How to do it? can i encrypt two drives in truecrypt and unlock it via password before boot?

My main reason is i want to RMA laptop without removing disks or data - my data need to be encrypted.

Thank you.
