Can I Use an Encrypted Disk on a different PC ?

Hi,

I want to ship my HDD overseas to a friend. It has some sensitive data & I want to Protect that data using one of the 2 products called “Disk Password Protection” OR “Cryptic Disk” from Exlade.

http://www.exlade.com/home

With Disk Partition Protection, I am able to Protect it by using a Password for booting it & another password for opening each Partition.

My question is, would my friend be able to unlock that hard drive on an entirely different PC with different configuration ?

Wouldn’t it create a problem even to detect it because the bios is different ?

The other product Cryptic Disk protects the HDD by encrypting the data on each partition. If I used that software would my friend be able to Unlock it on a different PC ?

OR

Does anyone have a better idea & better software for what I want to do ?

Thank You.

 

Hi

I'd recommend Truecrypt myself. It uses container files and has very good encryption. All he has to do to access the files, is install the client on his computer. It's open-source, secure, and free.
