mac/pc bootcamp with encryption

I just got my first mac, I'm running OS X, and I installed bootcamp so I have WINXP SP2 installed as well.

For windows I have the full latest version of PGP.

I was wondering if there is any app that will let me encrypt my windows partition, but have it readable by my mac, and visa versa...encrypt my mac and have WinXP be able to read that partition.

thanks.

I'm afraid I don't understand exactly what you're trying to accomplish. You want encryption, I got that bit. But by encrypting both you're really doing nothing since each host operating system needs files unencrypted to work from, thus anyone looking for access would merely have to reboot into the other OS.

Are you trying to share files between operating systems, and have those files be secure at all times? Without windows in the picture secure .dmg files are absolutely killer for general use, but off the top of my head I don't know what would accomplish the goal set out in the previous sentence.

Probably the best solution would be a whole-disk encryption (perhaps something like the Seagate(?) solution they're coming out with in a few months). That or a third partition, FAT32 or something, that you can find a piece of software that will create an encrypted file and is cross platform.

I don't think you'll be able to find anything that will let you read encrypted HFS partitions on Windows and encrypted NTFS partitions on Mac, though.

I don't think what you want to do is possible. The closest solution I can think of would be to use parallels to run Windows in a VM and then turn on Filevault under OS X.

I don't know if this is what you might be wanting, but MacDrive is a cool program for Windows that lets you read and write to Mac formatted harddrives from in XP. I really like it. Again I don't know if that's what you are looking for but I had a hard time for awhile since I couldn't see my mac harddrive when in Windows on my MacBook Pro. Hope this is what you were looking for.
