Windows folder encryption
- by Razor
My situation
I know that bitlocker is meant to encrypt whole drives, but I have an hard drive that is already fully partitioned and containing data.
I'd like to encrypt part of one partition, leaving the rest of the partition accessible.
I would very much like to avoid programs like Norton partition magic (which resize/split partitions), because every time I used them I had problems with the data stored.
Question
Is there any way/builtin alternative/3rd party app that integrates with windows login to encrypt one subset of a partition?
EDIT
I heard horror stories about EFS, which is why I don't want to use it, unless there have been improvements on reliability with windows 8.
Some highlights from that article:
In fact I’ve only used EFS twice in the last ten years on my own computers and on both occasions I’ve lost files and documents. I therefore cannot recommend you ever encrypt your files with this Windows feature.
Unfortunately, because of incompatibilities with some differing versions of EFS files can end up scrambled and unrecoverable.
